You'll also liaise with clients and third parties to ensure delivery of high-quality outcomes, on time and within service expectations.

Alongside managing your caseload, you will supervise and support a small team of fee earners, providing guidance on file strategy, monitoring performance against KPIs, and contributing to training and development. You’ll play an active role in driving team efficiency and quality, ensuring both individual and team targets are consistently met.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly respected team working on complex, high-value litigation within a supportive and collaborative environment.

The Candidate

• Sound understanding of litigation processes, procedural requirements, and case strategy

• Skilled negotiator with strong written and verbal communication skills
• Capable of managing a full caseload independently while meeting performance targets
• Proficient with case management systems and digital documentation
• Excellent organisational and problem-solving skills
• Able to work collaboratively and adapt within a team setting

The Benefits

• Competitive salary up to £65,000 Depending on Experience
• Hybrid working policy
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell additional days
• Private medical insurance
• Health Cash Plan
• Death in Service and Critical Illness cover
• Income Protection
• Access to retail, lifestyle, and entertainment discounts

Apply in the strictest of confidence online or via telephone – there is no need for a CV for an initial conversation.

Your new firm

Our award-winning client is seeking to expand their Personal Injury team with the addition of a Solicitor (NQ-3PQE) to join the military department with a specific focus on deafness cases. You will be joining a highly-regarded, friendly team and specialise in bespoke military industrial disease, based out of Cardiff.


Your new role
Your role will involve working within the military department; the department helps military service personnel who need to bring a claim against the Ministry of Defence due to their failure to adequately protect from illness or avoidable injury. The team advise on a full range of areas, including military deafness and cold and health injuries.

Duties will include:

• taking initial enquiries from clients and drafting witness evidence
• considering and managing a high volume of disclosure of documents
• updating clients on their claim
• dealing with telephone enquiries from clients
• assisting in instructing counsel
• preparation of court documents
• preparation of detailed schedules of loss
• assessing complex medical conditions and consideration of medical issues/ reports

The successful candidate will be able to proactively manage their own case load with minimal supervision. The role also involves assisting with the supervision of the Paralegal team.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a qualified solicitor (0-3PQE), looking to specialise in industrial disease/personal injury.
