Description

Catastrophic Injury Lawyer (Complex Claims) - Senior Associate

📍 Newcastle (Hybrid Working) – other locations will be considered💰 Competitive + Excellent Benefits⚖️Experience 4-8 years PQE

Work on Life-Changing Cases. Build a Career That Matters.
At Keoghs, we don’t just handle claims—we help shape outcomes in some of the most complex and sensitive cases in the UK. We’re now looking for a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer to join our market-leading Complex Injury Team.

This is your opportunity to work on high-value, multi-million-pound claims involving brain injuries, spinal injuries, amputations, and fatal cases—alongside some of the most respected legal professionals in the field.
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work on catastrophic and complex claims valued up to £10m+
  • Collaborate with industry-leading lawyers and insurer clients
  • Gain exposure to cutting-edge legal and medical issues
  • Play a key role in mentoring and developing junior talent
  • Enjoy flexible hybrid working (minimum 1 day in office)

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be at the heart of complex litigation—managing or supporting high-value catastrophic injury claims from instruction through to resolution.

Your Impact Will Include:
  • Managing a caseload of serious injury claims including ultra-high-value matters
  • Advising on liability, quantum, and indemnity issues
  • Working closely with a Lead Lawyer on multi-million-pound cases
  • Building strong, trusted relationships with insurer clients
  • Supporting and developing junior team members
  • Contributing to initiatives that enhance Keoghs’ market profile

What we're looking for

We’re seeking a technically strong, commercially aware lawyer who thrives in a high-performance environment.
Your Experience & Skills:
  • Qualified Solicitor (4–8 years’ PQE) or qualified CILEX lawyer
  • Proven experience working on catastrophic or large loss injury claims
  • Strong understanding of litigation, case law, and court procedures
  • Ability to handle or support complex, high-value cases with confidence
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
  • Calm under pressure, with strong prioritisation and organisational ability
  • Defendant experience is ideal, but strong claimant backgrounds will also be considered

We anticipate this role will be appointed up to Senior Associate level; however, this will ultimately depend on the successful candidate’s experience. We welcome applications from individuals across a range of experience levels, and the appropriate level will be discussed during the application and interview process.

Job Benefits

  • Davies Incentive Plan
  • 25 days holiday per year which increases with level of service (opportunity to buy & sell 3 days)
  • Private Medical Insurance ( Bupa) - will automatically be at single cover level but can opt into family option within first month of joining.
  • Simply Health Care Cash Plan
  • WeCare – 24/7 online GP, mental health support and virtual wellbeing covering a whole host of topics to do with health, mental health, wellbeing & healthy living and financial & legal wellbeing
  • Death in Service
  • Critical Illness Cover
  • PHI/Income Protection ( Private health insurance)
  • Pension Contribution based 5% Employee / 3% Employer
  • Cycle to Work Scheme*
  • Tech Scheme*
  • Season Ticket Loan*

  • Access to Online Discount Sites
  • Discounted Gourmet Society Membership
  • Discounted Tickets for Merlin Attractions nationwide
