The successful candidate will have genuine ownership of their files, managing claims from initial instruction through to settlement and, where required, litigation.

Negotiating with insurers, third parties and their representatives
Identifying matters requiring litigation and progressing proceedings accordingly
Drafting and issuing court proceedings where required

Preparing disclosure and evidential documentation
Dealing with telephone hearings and other hearings where necessary
Instructing Counsel, medical experts and other professionals where appropriate
Conducting relevant legal and case law research
Maintaining accurate and comprehensive case records
Working towards internal performance, quality and service standards

Ideally, you will have:

Experience managing your own RTA caseload

Experience dealing with disputed or denied liability
A good understanding of the Civil Procedure Rules and litigation process
Strong knowledge of quantum and medical evidence
Excellent negotiation and client management skills

Excellent organisation and time management
The ability to manage a busy caseload and competing deadlines
Strong attention to detail and file management
Experience using case management systems and Microsoft Office
The ability to work independently within a fully remote environment
A practical and solutions-focused approach

A Solicitor or CILEX practitioner with relevant practising rights would be advantageous, although experienced Fee Earners without these qualifications will also be considered.

What's on Offer?

Fully remote working
An established and growing Personal Injury team
A varied RTA and Fast Track caseload
The opportunity to manage your own caseload
Supportive and collaborative colleagues
Ongoing training and professional development
Genuine autonomy and flexibility
Long-term career development within Personal Injury
