At Keoghs, we don’t just handle claims—we help shape outcomes in some of the most complex and sensitive cases in the UK. We’re now looking for a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer to join our market-leading Complex Injury Team.
This is your opportunity to work on high-value, multi-million-pound claims involving brain injuries, spinal injuries, amputations, and fatal cases—alongside some of the most respected legal professionals in the field.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work on catastrophic and complex claims valued up to £10m+

- Gain exposure to cutting-edge legal and medical issues
- Play a key role in mentoring and developing junior talent
- Enjoy flexible hybrid working (minimum 1 day in office)
You’ll be at the heart of complex litigation—managing or supporting high-value catastrophic injury claims from instruction through to resolution.
Your Impact Will Include:
- Managing a caseload of serious injury claims including ultra-high-value matters
- Advising on liability, quantum, and indemnity issues
- Working closely with a Lead Lawyer on multi-million-pound cases
- Building strong, trusted relationships with insurer clients
- Supporting and developing junior team members
- Contributing to initiatives that enhance Keoghs’ market profile
We’re seeking a technically strong, commercially aware lawyer who thrives in a high-performance environment.
Your Experience & Skills:
- Qualified Solicitor (4–8 years’ PQE) or qualified CILEX lawyer
- Proven experience working on catastrophic or large loss injury claims
- Strong understanding of litigation, case law, and court procedures
- Ability to handle or support complex, high-value cases with confidence
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
- Calm under pressure, with strong prioritisation and organisational ability
- Defendant experience is ideal, but strong claimant backgrounds will also be considered
