Salary: £40,000–£55,000 DOE + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

An international law firm is looking to recruit a Catastrophic Injury Associate (1–5 years PQE) to join its growing team in Liverpool. This is a fantastic opportunity for a defendant personal injury solicitor ready to step into more complex work – or a claimant solicitor seeking to move into a leading defendant practice.

You’ll be joining a collaborative and highly regarded team, working alongside Legal 500-recognised Partners on high-value, complex matters, including RTA, EL/PL, and indemnity claims. With a clear route to progression and a genuinely supportive culture, this is an ideal role for someone looking to deepen their expertise in large loss work.

What you’ll be doing:
  • Handling your own caseload of Catastrophic Injury files (with support as needed)
  • Assisting senior colleagues on high-value catastrophic injury claims
  • Involvement in liability investigations, policy coverage analysis, and quantum assessments
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships
  • Mentoring and supporting junior team members
What we’re looking for:
  • 1–5 years PQE, with experience in defendant personal injury
  • Claimant background also welcome, if you’re keen to transition to defendant work
  • A confident communicator who’s commercially minded and client-focused
What’s on offer:
  • Salary between £40,000–£55,000 depending on experience
  • Hybrid working – 2 days in the office, 3 from home
  • Bonus scheme
  • 25 days holiday + option to buy 5 more
  • Private medical and dental cover
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity leave
  • Up to 8% pension contribution
  • Structured career development with a view to progress
