EL​/PL Loss Solicitor

Placing the best legal talent in law firms in Defendant Injury & Insurance

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an NQ–2 PQE Solicitor to join a highly regarded Catastrophic Injury & Large Loss team within a leading national firm.

Working alongside experienced Partners and senior lawyers, you’ll manage your own caseload of fast-track and lower-value multi-track EL/PL claims while assisting on high-value, complex large loss and catastrophic injury matters. The team acts for major insurers, corporates, and public sector clients on a diverse range of claims including workplace accidents, public liability, and road traffic injuries — as well as sensitive cases involving harassment, stress, and group litigation.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a junior solicitor to gain exposure to complex, technically challenging work in a supportive and collaborative environment.

• Confident handling liability investigations and running own caseload
• Experience assisting on large loss or catastrophic injury cases advantageous
• Excellent understanding of CPR and litigation processes
• Strong drafting, analytical and communication skills
