• Maintain quality and compliance with all internal and client policies

About You: You will be a qualified solicitor with around 2+ years PQE and experience managing a defendant personal injury caseload (motor preferred, EL/PL considered). While prior large loss experience is not essential, a strong technical ability, attention to detail, and a proactive approach are key. You should be comfortable working independently and as part of a team, with a good understanding of CPR procedures.
