Why join us?

Join a team that thrives on challenge and delivers exceptional results.

At DWF, our General Insurance team is renowned for expertise in Casualty, Disease, Criminal Defence, EL/PL & RTA. We’re looking for a talented Solicitor to take on a dynamic caseload of civil matters – from RTA and personal injury to EL/PL prosecutions.

If you’re passionate about advocacy, problem‑solving, and making a real impact, this is your opportunity to work on high‑profile cases and grow your career with a global leader.

• Manage a varied caseload of civil defence cases, primarily RTA, personal injury, and EL/PL.
• Assess civil personal injury defence cases where required.
• Prioritise effectively to meet court deadlines and client SLAs.
• Build strong relationships internally and externally to expand networks and deepen client understanding.
• Act as a trusted mentor for junior team members.

What We’re Looking For -

• 1–4 years PQE as a Solicitor, ideally with experience in civil defence (RTA, personal injury, EL/PL).
• A genuine interest in complex, high‑value defence work – catastrophic injury experience is a plus.
• Strong technical skills and a proactive, collaborative approach.

At DWF, we deeply appreciate the significance of offering a comprehensive rewards package that extends beyond a basic salary. Our commitment is to ensure that each member of our team not only feels valued but is also duly rewarded throughout their tenure with us. Upon joining our organisation, you will have the opportunity to select from a diverse array of benefits, allowing you to carefully tailor a package that perfectly aligns with your individual needs and those of your family.

In addition to our standard benefits, we offer a wide range of flexible benefits and robust well‑being programs.

Our recruitment process upholds the highest standards of fairness and engagement. It includes comprehensive interviews and, at times, a written assessment, an assessment day, or presentation. We aim to create a positive experience for all candidates and offer any adjustments or additional support.

DWF is a global legal business providing Complex, Managed and Connected Services. We empower people to be themselves within an inclusive and supportive environment, enabling everyone to achieve their full potential in line with their abilities and career aspirations.
