A leading Legal 500 law firm is seeking an experienced Solicitor to join its Catastrophic Injury & Large Loss team in Manchester.

The team advises on all aspects of complex personal injury claims — from liability investigations and policy coverage assessments to quantum analysis across multi-track matters. This role will involve supporting on high-value large loss cases spanning motor, EL/PL and indemnity claims.

You’ll work closely with a Partner on significant, high-value files, managing elements of cases with a high degree of autonomy. Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your own large loss matters and play a key role in developing client relationships through training delivery and case clinics.

Career progression is actively encouraged — you’ll be given regular exposure to complex work, client contact and the chance to mentor junior team members, including NQs. Advocacy is supported for those who wish to develop in that area.
