Exciting Opportunity for a Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive or Experienced Paralegal in Casualty Disease
Your new firm
This well-established national firm is recognised for its strength across insurance and casualty litigation. The Casualty Disease team is a key part of the wider practice, and due to continued growth, they are now seeking a talented individual to join their ranks. With colleagues based across the UK, the firm embraces flexible and remote working arrangements, making this an ideal opportunity for candidates seeking a modern, agile workplace.
Your new role
You will be joining a specialist team focused on defending industrial disease claims. The work will include managing your own caseload of matters such as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), and asbestos-related conditions.
You will also support senior lawyers on more complex cases, gaining exposure to high-value and technically challenging litigation. The team acts for a mix of insurer clients and self-insured corporates, offering a varied and stimulating client base. You will be supported with a programme and encouraged to participate in client engagement, marketing activities, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
What you’ll need to succeed
You will be a qualified Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive or an experienced Paralegal with a genuine interest in casualty or disease litigation. Prior experience in personal injury or industrial disease work is desirable but not essential. You should be confident in managing client relationships and have a commercially aware approach to legal issues. A collaborative mindset and willingness to contribute to team development are key, as is an understanding of client KPIs and financial management of files. The ideal candidate will be proactive, professional, and aligned with the firm’s values of clarity, creativity, determination and support.
What you’ll get in return
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking firm that values flexibility, wellbeing and career progression. You’ll benefit from a competitive remuneration package, including private medical insurance, income protection and a range of lifestyle perks. The firm offers structured development pathways, professional funding and regular social events—both in-person and remote. You’ll also have the chance to engage in meaningful ESG initiatives and contribute to a workplace that celebrates diversity and inclusion.

We would expect a lawyer with the given PQE to have gained the level of experience required, but this does not preclude applications from those with more or less PQE.
