  • Interim Support & Rehabilitation: Strategically secure early interim payments and appropriate private rehabilitation packages to ensure the client's immediate needs are met.

  • Negotiation & Settlement: Engage in robust negotiations with insurers and opponents, advising the client on litigation and cost risks, and ultimately optimising the client's settlement.

  • Compliance: Maintain accurate file management and time recording using the firm's case management system, ensuring compliance with SRA and internal standards.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Qualification: Qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEx) in the UK, or an unqualified Fee Earner who can demonstrate equivalent high-level experience with 2 years PQE.

  • Experience: Proven track record of successfully managing a caseload of Claimant multi-track serious or catastrophic injury claims. We will consider candidates from a Defendant background demonstrating the right transferrable skills.
