Specialist personal injury work – One of the most challenging and rewarding personal injury solicitor jobs in Manchester offering peerless variety of work coupled with fantastic opportunities to progress.
Personal Injury Solicitor (EL/PL)
2-5 PQE | Manchester | Hybrid Working | Salary up to £60,000 + Excellent Benefits
This is an outstanding opportunity to work on some of the most complex and high-value casualty claims in the market, alongside recognised experts in the field. The role would suit a lawyer with experience handling Employers’ Liability (EL) and Public Liability (PL) claims who is looking to develop their expertise in handling complex work including catastrophic injury litigation.
Niche team offering fantastic exposure to quality work
The team is small and collegiate in nature and operates as a specialist off-shoot or sub-team of the broader catastrophic injury offering. Lawyers within this team handle a broad range of serious and life-changing injury cases, offering exposure to technically challenging work and excellent opportunities for career progression.
The team deals with certain key clients of the firm such as the Police and other emergency services. As such the nature of the work can include injuries and other elements which flow from those injuries (such as human rights issues for example), which wouldn’t normally come into play in a typical EL/PL case. For example, the variety of cases includes:
- Complex Employers’ Liability and Public Liability claims
- Catastrophic and life-changing injury matters
- Serious burn injuries
- Assault, abuse and neglect claims
- Civil liability claims arising from terrorist incidents
- False imprisonment and malicious prosecution claims

- Manage a caseload of complex EL and PL claims
- Assist on high-value catastrophic injury and large loss matters
- Draft pleadings, reports and instructions to counsel and expert witnesses
- Conduct legal research and advising on liability and quantum issues
- Attend conferences, client meetings and settlement discussions
