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:
- Managing a caseload of complex multi-track injury claims (typically one hundred thousand up to five hundred thousand)
- Supporting the Lead Lawyer on catastrophic injury claims exceeding a million
- Advising insurer clients on liability, quantum, indemnity, and strategy
- Drafting pleadings, defences, and counter-schedules in complex cases
- Conducting forensic analysis of medical and liability evidence
- Preparing technical advice and reserve/valuation assessments using tools such as Ogden Tables
- Representing clients at mediations, joint settlement meetings (JSMs), and conferences
- Building strong relationships with clients, counsel, and experts
- Supporting and mentoring junior colleagues within the team
We’re looking for a confident and commercially aware legal professional who thrives on complexity and delivers high-quality outcomes.
You will have:
- Qualification as a Solicitor, CILEX, or equivalent legal experience
- Proven experience handling high-value, multi-track personal injury claims.
- Strong understanding of litigation practice, case law, and insurance principles
- Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail
- The ability to prioritise, meet deadlines, and perform under pressure
- Confident communication and client-facing skills
✨ Experience with the MIB, Uninsured/Untraced Drivers Agreements, or Article 75 is advantageous—but not essential.
What you’ll get in return
- Exposure to high-value, complex and catastrophic injury work
- Opportunities to develop your technical expertise and client relationships
- A collaborative environment where you’ll work closely with experienced lawyers
- Support to grow your career and build your own caseload and reputation
