Join one of the UK and Ireland’s most respected insurance law teams and take your career to the next level. This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious solicitor to work on complex, high-value and often life-changing cases — from catastrophic injuries to high-value motor and casualty claims.

As a Senior Solicitor within our Large Loss Team, you’ll play a key role supporting the Lead Lawyer on some of the most challenging and rewarding cases in our portfolio, while managing your own caseload of claims typically valued between £100,000 and £250,000.

  • Handle your own caseload of high-value complex injury claims, driving them from instruction to resolution.
  • Engage directly with senior claims handlers at leading insurers — building strong, trusted relationships.
  • Apply your analytical expertise to dissect complex medical and quantum evidence, identify key issues and shape expert strategy.
  • Draft high-quality technical advice across indemnity, liability, quantum and causation.
  • Conduct witness interviews, prepare statements, draft pleadings and attend conferences, mediations and Joint Settlement Meetings.
  • Take an active role in mentoring and developing junior colleagues.
  • Ensure case management systems are updated and compliant with LSNI regulations.
