Large Loss Lawyer – Complex Injury

?? Bolton | ?? Full-time (35 hours)

Join a leading complex injury team handling high-value, high-impact claims

We have an opportunity for a Large Loss Lawyer to join our specialist Complex Injury team, working on challenging, high-value claims within coverage as well as EL/PL/RTA and claims within the MIB (Motor Insurers’ Bureau) space.

This role offers the chance to work on multi-track matters ranging from one hundred thousand to over a million, including catastrophic injury cases, while collaborating with experienced Lead Lawyer and sophisticated insurer clients.

You’ll play a key part in progressing complex injury claims from instruction through to resolution, taking responsibility for both your own caseload and supporting on larger matters.

Your core responsibilities will include:

\n
• Managing a caseload of complex multi-track injury claims (typically one hundred thousand up to five hundred thousand)
\n
• Supporting the Lead Lawyer on catastrophic injury claims exceeding a million
\n
• Advising insurer clients on liability, quantum, indemnity, and strategy
\n
• Drafting pleadings, defences, and counter-schedules in complex cases
\n
• Conducting forensic analysis of medical and liability evidence
\n
• Preparing technical advice and reserve/valuation assessments using tools such as Ogden Tables
\n
• Representing clients at mediations, joint settlement meetings (JSMs), and conferences
\n
• Building strong relationships with clients, counsel, and experts
\n
• Supporting and mentoring junior colleagues within the team
\n

We’re looking for a confident and commercially aware legal professional who thrives on complexity and delivers high-quality outcomes.

You will have:

\n
• Qualification as a Solicitor, CILEX, or equivalent legal experience
\n
• Proven experience handling high-value, multi-track personal injury claims.
\n
• Strong understanding of litigation practice, case law, and insurance principles
\n
• Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail
\n
• The ability to prioritise, meet deadlines, and perform under pressure
\n
• Confident communication and client-facing skills
\n

? Experience with the MIB, Uninsured/Untraced Drivers Agreements, or Article 75 is advantageous—but not essential.

What you’ll get in return

\n
• Exposure to high-value, complex and catastrophic injury work
\n
• Opportunities to develop your technical expertise and client relationships
\n
• A collaborative environment where you’ll work closely with experienced lawyers
\n
• Support to grow your career and build your own caseload and reputation
\n
