Serious Injury Solicitor

Cheadle – £45,000 - £60,000

My client is looking to recruit Serious Injury Solicitor for their office in the Midlands.
 
The firm specialises in serious injury, only taking on high value, complex files. You will be managing your own caseload of multi-track files that will consist of files such as head and brain injury, spinal injury and amputation. You will also assist other senior solicitors and partners with their high value caseload, giving you exposure to a wide range of work. Your caseload will also be smaller than what is usually typical, think around 8-12 files at any one time. There are also no billing targets, you are encouraged to work collectively as a team to ensure the best possible outcome for your clients.
 
The firm has been growing rapidly over the past few years and as a result opened a new office around 2 years ago, in fact they have already outgrown this office and are opening a new office in the new year. They take progression seriously with a progression path put in place from the get-go, with this office still reasonably new it is a good time to join if progression is a keen motivator.
 
You will have the autonomy and flexibility to work in a way that suits you. There are no set days in the office just come and go as needed, they are much more interested in good client contact. Salary is £60,000 DOE + quarterly bonus scheme, along with a host of other excellent benefits such as 25 days AL plus bank holidays and Christmas closure, professional qualifications and memberships paid for, enhanced maternity/paternity, enhanced sick pay and many more. The firm really does care about their employees, which is evident with their gold investors in people award. 
 
The ideal candidate will be 1-5 years PQE with previous claimant serious injury experience.
 
If you'd like to hear any more about the role, please get in touch.

What’s one goal you’re working towards this year?

Professionally I am working toward Senior Consultant, pretty close now will have that in the bag by the end of the year. Personally I am looking to move house, need something a bit bigger and something with a garage so I can tinker.


What’s your favourite way to unwind after a busy day?

Don't get much chance to unwind with a 2-year-old, my unwinding is the tram journey home. I do love coming home and spending quality time with my family though, nothing beats that.


If you weren’t in recruitment, what would you be doing?

Well my degree is in in microbiology focused heavily on soil so probably that. Glad I'm not though I don't think I would be able to handle all that excitement...
