Solicitor, Legal Counsel

Steele Charles are delighted to be working on behalf of a growing, modern law firm to recruit a Scottish-qualified litigation solicitor with experience in pursuer personal injury work.

This opportunity is ideal for a solicitor who enjoys running their own cases, making strategic decisions, and actually progressing matters through litigation — while having a strong support team behind them.

The ideal candidate will be based in Scotland or Northern England, although remote options considered.

You will have:

• Full control of your own diary
• Ownership of your own caseload
• Access to a large, experienced paralegal team to handle admin and process-heavy tasks
• The ability to focus on litigation strategy, negotiation, and client outcomes
• A flexible, largely remote working model

This position suits a litigator who wants to practice at the right level, rather than being buried in procedural work.

You’ll manage a caseload of pursuer personal injury claims, including:

• Litigated PI matters
• Disputed liability and quantum
• Medical evidence and expert instruction
• Sheriff Court procedure and, where appropriate, higher court matters

We are looking for someone confident raising and progressing court actions, not purely pre-litigation claims handling.

• Scottish-qualified Solicitor (essential)
• 2+ years PQE in litigation
• Proven experience handling pursuer personal injury claims
• Experience of litigated cases and Scottish civil procedure
• Comfortable working independently and making tactical decisions
• Strong communicator with a client-focused approach

• Competitive salary and benefits
• Strong internal support systems
