Associate – Serious Injury | High-Value Catastrophic Injury | £60,000–£90,000 + Excellent Benefits

Looking for a Serious Injury role where quality of work comes before volume?

We're recruiting for an experienced Serious Injury lawyer to join a highly regarded specialist team handling complex, high-value catastrophic injury claims. This is an excellent opportunity for a senior practitioner seeking greater autonomy, high-quality work, and the opportunity to focus on achieving the best possible outcomes for clients.

With carefully managed caseloads, strong multi-disciplinary support, and a collaborative culture, this role offers the environment needed to handle complex claims effectively while continuing to develop your career.

Why consider this opportunity?

✔ High-value Serious Injury and catastrophic injury work
✔ Caseloads managed to prioritise quality over volume
✔ Significant autonomy and responsibility
✔ Competitive salary (£60,000–£90,000 DOE)
✔ Dedicated monthly wellbeing day
✔ Life assurance and income protection
✔ Flexible benefits package, including holiday buy/sell
✔ Ongoing professional development and career progression

The Role

As an Associate, you'll manage a portfolio of complex Serious Injury claims, predominantly arising from RTA matters, with values ranging from £150,000 to multi-million-pound settlements.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Leading case strategy from inception through to settlement
  • Managing liability, quantum, rehabilitation, and litigation issues
  • Securing early interim payments and rehabilitation funding
  • Working alongside medical experts, counsel, case managers, care experts, architects, and financial specialists
  • Supervising and mentoring junior team members
  • Delivering exceptional outcomes through a collaborative, client-focused approach

About You

We're keen to speak with candidates who can demonstrate:

  • Qualified Solicitor or CILEX status with significant post-qualification experience (typically 8+ years PQE)
  • Experience handling complex, high-value Serious Injury matters
  • Strong technical expertise in liability, quantum, and litigation strategy
  • The ability to manage complex cases independently
  • Previous mentoring or supervisory experience
  • Excellent client care and communication skills

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking practice that genuinely values quality, autonomy, and long-term client outcomes. If you're looking to work on complex, rewarding cases within a supportive and highly respected team, we'd be delighted to speak with you.

For a confidential discussion, please contact Chris Orrell on 0161 914 7357 or send your updated CV to c.orrell@clayton-legal.co.uk.
