Join a leading complex injury team handling high-value, high-impact claims



We have an opportunity for a

This role offers the chance to work on
multi-track matters ranging from one hundred thousand to over a million, including catastrophic injury cases, while collaborating with experienced Lead Lawyer and sophisticated insurer clients.




What You'll Be Doing



You'll play a key part in progressing complex injury claims from instruction through to resolution, taking responsibility for both your own caseload and supporting on larger matters.




Your core responsibilities will include:

• Managing a caseload of complex multi-track injury claims (typically one hundred thousand up to five hundred thousand)

• Advising insurer clients on liability, quantum, indemnity, and strategy

• Strong understanding of litigation practice, case law, and insurance principles


• Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail


• The ability to prioritise, meet deadlines, and perform under pressure


• Confident communication and client-facing skills

Experience with the

What you'll get in return
