Job description

Legal Recruitment Specialist - UK & Ireland

Overview

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Senior Solicitor with 5–10 years’ PQE to join a highly regarded Large Loss team within a leading insurance litigation practice in Belfast. This role offers exposure to some of the most complex, high‑value and sensitive claims in the market, including catastrophic injury and fatal accident matters.

The successful candidate will work closely with a Lead Lawyer on headline cases while also managing their own caseload of significant claims, typically valued between £100,000 and £250,000. This is a role suited to an ambitious solicitor who enjoys technical challenge, responsibility and clear progression within a collaborative, high‑performing team. The role offers a competitive salary of up to £65,000, reflecting experience and skill.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the Lead Lawyer on complex High Court and catastrophic injury claims, including brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation and fatal accident cases
  • Manage your own caseload of high‑value, multi‑track injury claims from instruction through to resolution
  • Provide clear, strategic and technically robust advice on indemnity, liability, quantum and causation
  • Analyse complex medical, expert and financial evidence to identify key issues and inform case strategy
  • Draft pleadings, witness statements and detailed technical reports
  • Conduct witness interviews and attend conferences, mediations and Joint Settlement Meetings
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with senior claims handlers and insurer clients
  • Mentor and support junior members of the team, contributing to their ongoing development
  • Ensure accurate and compliant case management in line with LSNI requirements

Essential Skills and Experience

  • Qualified Solicitor with 5–10 years’ PQE, ideally in large loss or complex injury litigation
  • Strong understanding of indemnity, liability and quantum
  • Demonstrable experience handling high‑value or technically complex claims
  • Confidence working with medical and expert evidence
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify trends and anomalies
  • Commercial, client‑focused approach with confidence dealing with senior stakeholders
  • Calm, organised and proactive working style, even under pressure

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary up to £65,000 plus discretionary incentive scheme
  • Belfast‑based role
  • 25 days’ annual leave, increasing with service (with option to buy/sell additional days)
  • Private medical insurance (with option to extend to family cover)
  • Health cash plan and 24/7 wellbeing support services
  • Death in service and critical illness cover
  • Income protection
  • Pension scheme with employer contribution
  • Cycle to Work, tech and season ticket loan schemes (post‑probation)
  • Access to a wide range of retail, leisure and lifestyle discounts
