CRA Consulting is proud to be working with a nationally recognised Serious Injury practice as it continues to expand its high-value Serious Injury team. This opportunity is ideal for a junior Solicitor, CILEX Lawyer or experienced Assistant Fee Earner who wants meaningful exposure to complex, high‑value Serious Injury litigation, including £250k+ and catastrophic claims – all within a fully remote, well‑supported environment.

This is a role designed to develop future fee earners and associates, not keep you in the background.

You’ll work closely with a senior lead fee earner on complex Serious Injury cases, while also managing a small personal caseload to build autonomy and technical confidence. The work is predominantly RTA‑based, involving technically challenging issues around liability, causation, and quantum, with a clear and structured pathway into higher‑value cases and senior roles as your experience grows.

• Supporting a lead fee earner on high‑value Serious Injury claims (£250k 编辑 and catastrophic)
• Managing a small Serious Injury caseload with increasing responsibility
• Developing a deep understanding of case strategy, key issues, and next steps
• Progressing agreed actions efficiently and proactively
• Drafting statements, pleadings, and schedules of loss
• Analysing evidence on liability, causation, and quantum
• Instructing and liaising with medical experts, case managers, care experts, counsel, and other specialists
• Securing early interim payments and appropriate rehabilitation
• Acting as a key point of contact for clients and external stakeholders
• Maintaining accurate, high‑quality records on the case management system
• Preparing documentation for conferences, settlement meetings, and client meetings
• Supporting profile‑raising, networking, and business development activity
• Mentoring junior colleagues where appropriate

• Exposure to catastrophic or complex Serious Injury claims
• Clear ambition to build a long‑term career in Serious Injury litigation
• Experience mentoring or supporting junior colleagues
• Engagement with industry bodies, CPD, or profile‑raising activity

• £31,280 – £51,823 basic salary (DOErebbero)
• Fully remote working (UK‑based)
• Hands‑on exposure to £250k+ and catastrophic Serious Injury cases
• Clear, structured progression into Fee Earner and Associate roles
• Supportive supervision, mentoring, and technical development
• Long‑term career security within a specialist Serious Injury environment

If you’re an Assistant Fee Earner or junior Serious Injury lawyer ready to step into higher‑value, more complex work – with flexibility, support, and genuine progression – I’d be delighted to have a confidential conversation.
