Serious Injury Associate

Job description

Associate / Senior Associate – Serious Injury

A leading regional law firm is seeking an Associate or Senior Associate (Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive) to join its highly regarded Serious Injury team based in Southampton.

This is an excellent opportunity to work within a specialist team handling complex, high-value and often life-changing cases, while benefiting from a genuinely supportive and collaborative culture.

The Role You will work as part of a dedicated Serious Injury team handling complex and catastrophic injury matters, including:

  • Adult and child brain injury

  • Complex orthopaedic injuries, including amputations

  • Fatal accident claims and inquests

  • Multi-million-pound, high-value claims

Unlike traditional models, matters are managed within small partner-led teams rather than being siloed to individual fee earners. This structure provides exposure to high-quality work, strong mentoring and genuine opportunities for professional development.

The team adopts a holistic approach, supporting clients not only with financial recovery but also with their long-term care, medical and rehabilitation needs.

About You
  • Qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive

  • Minimum 4 years’ experience within personal injury (catastrophic injury experience highly desirable)

  • Experience supporting complex, high-value claims

  • Calm under pressure with strong organisational skills

  • Empathetic and confident when working with vulnerable clients and families

  • Collaborative, proactive and committed to delivering exceptional client care

This role would suit a lawyer looking to take the next step within a specialist, high-performing team, while continuing to develop their expertise in serious injury litigation.

Why Apply?
  • High-quality, complex and meaningful work

  • Supportive, team-based structure with strong partner involvement

  • Clear long-term progression opportunities

  • Hybrid and flexible working options

  • Competitive salary (open for discussion and dependent on experience) and comprehensive benefits package including:

    • 28 days’ annual leave

    • Private medical insurance

    • Income protection & life assurance

    • Firm-wide bonus scheme

    • Generous pension

If you’re looking to join a forward-thinking, people-focused firm where your development and wellbeing genuinely matter, this is an outstanding opportunity to advance your career within a leading Serious Injury practice.

For a confidential discussion, please get in touch.
