Solicitor/ Associate – Defendant Personal Injury (EL/PL)

Solicitor/ Associate – Defendant Personal Injury
EL/PL | Complex Litigation | Hybrid Working | Up to £60,000 D.O.E

I’m working with a highly regarded national insurance litigation team looking to appoint a Solicitor / Associate into their Birmingham-based Defendant Personal Injury practice.

This is a strong opportunity for someone looking to move away from heavily process-driven or volume-based work and gain exposure to more complex, higher quality EL/PL litigation within a genuinely respected team.

The environment is collaborative, modern and supportive, with good quality work, strong internal support and clear progression opportunities.

The Role

• You will manage a varied caseload of defendant EL/PL matters, including both pre-litigation and litigated claims.
• The work includes complex and higher value multi-track cases across sectors including construction, manufacturing, retail, leisure and property, alongside exposure to multi-defendant and Part 20 claims.
• You’ll work closely with insurers, corporates and loss adjusters, while also having the opportunity to support on larger and more technically challenging matters alongside highly experienced Partners recognised within the defendant PI market.
• This is not a purely volume-driven role. The focus is on quality litigation, strong client relationships and delivering practical commercial outcomes.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• High-quality defendant EL/PL work
• Exposure to complex and higher value litigation
• Opportunity to work alongside recognised market leaders
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Strong national team with an excellent reputation
• Supportive and collaborative culture
• Modern and forward-thinking environment
• Genuine long-term progression opportunities

The Ideal Candidate
This role would suit:

• A Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with Defendant Personal Injury experience
• Someone experienced handling EL/PL litigation independently
• A confident litigator looking to deepen their exposure to more technical and complex work
• A candidate who enjoys building strong client relationships and taking ownership of their files
• Someone looking for a long-term move within a respected and growing team

Experience handling multi-track matters and knowledge of policy coverage would be advantageous.

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £60,000 D.O.E
• Hybrid working
• Bonus structure and strong wider benefits package
• Private Medical Insurance and wellbeing support
• Long-term progression opportunities
• Supportive and well-established team environment
