Description

Keoghs is looking to appoint an Assistant Lawyer to join our Complex Injury Claims Team in Southampton. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to develop your technical and strategic legal skills while working on high‑value, multi‑track and catastrophic injury claims alongside an experienced Lead Lawyer.
If you’re passionate about complex litigation, thrive on detailed analysis and want exposure to market‑leading work with major insurer clients, this role will give you the challenge, support and progression you’re looking for.

Key Responsibilities

As an Assistant Lawyer, you’ll play a key role in progressing complex and high‑value injury claims from instruction through to resolution. Working closely with a Lead Lawyer, you’ll gain hands‑on experience with cases involving brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputations and fatal claims, across EL, PL and RTA matters.

Your work will be supervised, with clear feedback and coaching, giving you real scope to develop your expertise in indemnity, liability, quantum and causation within a collaborative and high‑performing team.

You’ll also work directly with sophisticated insurer clients and senior claims handlers, building trusted relationships and contributing to Keoghs’ wider profile in the market.

What you’ll be doing
  • Supporting the Lead Lawyer on a caseload of complex, high‑value and catastrophic injury claims
  • Managing claims from receipt of instruction to settlement or trial
  • Analysing complex liability and quantum evidence, including large volumes of medical records
  • Preparing chronologies, identifying anomalies and highlighting key issues
  • Assisting with valuation of claims, including use of the Ogden Tables
  • Drafting high‑quality technical advice on indemnity, liability, quantum, causation and strategy
  • Interviewing witnesses and drafting statements
  • Drafting pleadings and applications
  • Instructing counsel and attending conferences, JSMs, mediations and trials
  • Liaising confidently with insurer clients, insured parties, experts and other stakeholders
  • Delegating tasks to and supporting the development of Legal Assistants and Paralegals
  • Maintaining accurate case management and MI in line with client requirements

What we’re looking for

Overall, you’ll be positive, confident and enthusiastic, with the judgement to know when to take initiative and when to seek guidance. Just as importantly, you’ll be a strong team player with excellent client‑care skills and a calm, professional approach.

In addition you'll:
  • Be a qualified solicitor with a genuine interest in complex injury and litigation
  • Have experience assisting on claims involving indemnity, liability and quantum
  • Have strong analytical and critical thinking skills, particularly around quantum
  • Have excellent attention to detail and ability to handle complex evidence
  • Be confident in written and verbal communication skills, including telephone advocacy
  • Have a sound understanding of litigation process, case law and court rules
  • Be able to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines under pressure
Desirable:
  • Experience with complex medical issues or catastrophic injury claims
  • Experience using the Ogden Tables
  • Exposure to high‑value multi‑track claims
