Senior Serious Injury Solicitor

Lymington – £50,000 - £70,000

Serious Injury Solicitor (4 years + PQE)
 
Are you a dedicated legal professional ready to make a difference in people’s lives? I am currently looking for a compassionate and experienced Solicitor/Legal Executive to join a specialist team supporting individuals with spinal cord injuries.
 
Why This Role Stands Out
 
You will play a vital role in helping clients overcome significant challenges, ensuring they receive the compensation, care, and guidance they need to rebuild their lives.
In this role, you’ll take on a caseload of spinal cord injury claims, including complex, high-value matters. You’ll also support and mentor junior colleagues while gaining/ building your experience in high profile cases. It’s a fantastic opportunity to deepen your expertise and grow your career in a unique niche.
 
What the firm can offer you
 
Flexibility is important to this Top Tier, Legal500 law firm. Whilst the team is based in London, most of your work can be done remotely, with the option to use the office as needed. The team and firm can support you in achieving a healthy balance between work and life, so you can focus on what matters most—both professionally and personally.
Although this is a Personal Injury position, there will also be the opportunity for you to handle medical negligence files.
 
What the team is looking for
 
I would love to hear from you if:
  • You’re experienced within Personal Injury law: You have at least 5–6 years handling high-value personal injury claims, ideally including spinal cord injury cases. Experience in medical negligence would be beneficial, although not essential.
  • You’re empathetic: Supporting clients through life-changing events is something you’re passionate about, and you communicate with care and clarity.
  • You’re proactive: You take initiative, enjoy working collaboratively, and are happy to assist the wider team when needed.
Why This Role Matters
 
This is an opportunity to join a team that genuinely cares about making a difference. You’ll be supported by experienced colleagues and have the chance to develop your skills in a meaningful and rewarding way.

Francesca began working for Douglas Scott in 2017, joining the National Insurance team. Her role involves placing Paralegals and Solicitors into claimant and defendant Personal Injury law firms in the London area and her clients range from sole-practitioners to international Law Firms.

"Francesca has taken the initiative to approach firms I am interested in and has always taken action promptly and efficiently.

She always considers my situation and career aspirations and as such I trust her to put me forward for appropriate roles."
