Personal Injury Solicitor - Litigated RTA - £25000-35000 plus bonus

Are you a claimant personal injury solicitor interested in moving into defendant work? If so this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

I am working exclusively with this top 100 UK firm recruiting into its specialist litigation team handling fast and multi track RTA work.

You will be responsible for handling a litigated, fast track (some multi track) caseload of approx. 40 cases. The work is all at values over the proposed new small claims limit of £5000.

This opportunity would see you work in a supportive and supervised team environment where you would handle your own litigated defendant RTA work. The emphasis is on not just settling claims but thoroughly investigating and litigating whenever possible.

Applications are welcome from candidates with litigated RTA claims handling experience. The team deals with hourly rate work and only qualified solicitor/CILEx candidates can be considered. It has also been found that those from an insurance fraud background have made a good transition to this team.

The firm is situated in Lancashire/Greater Manchester and has good links by rail and road with subsidised parking and a car lease scheme available to all employees. Additionally once probation has been passed there is the ability to work remotely from home 1-2 days per week. Also part time (4 days per week) will be considered.

This is an excellent opportunity to work for a market leading firm in a modern working environment offering a supportive team structure and realistic routes for future progression. The level of work the team deals with also means that it offers security from the proposed changes to the small claims track limit.

If you would like to discuss this personal injury opportunity in more detail please contact David Carr at Chadwick Nott.
