Job description

Full-time or part-time applications will be considered.

Our Litigation Department deals with a broad range of civil litigation work and currently comprises ten fee earners together with support staff. The personal injury team is three strong.

We currently have a vacancy for a personal injury lawyer, able to run MOJ Portal and FastTrack cases, Intermediate Track cases with minimal supervision, and assist a partner on larger Multi Track Cases. Some experience of clinical negligence cases would be a bonus.

The successful candidate will have about 3 to 5 years personal injury experience post qualification and could be a CILEX with full litigation practising rights, or a solicitor. We would be willing to consider those with a greater level of post qualification experience, if they are able/willing to learn new areas of litigation other than personal injury/clinical negligence; and/or have a good track record in business development and/or a client following.

We will consider both full-time and part-time applications (minimum 24 hours per week). The team is based at our Exeter office where you will need to spend at least two days per week, but hybrid working is available once you have passed your probation or you are fully integrated into the team whichever is earliest. You will need to travel out to other offices sometimes to see clients.

Involvement in the firm’s marketing and business development plan, is an important part of the job, as is the ability to have and follow through ideas for actively developing new sources of personal injury work.

We offer a good benefits package, and the post will provide excellent career prospects for the successful candidate.

The firm has been rapidly expanding in recent years, with a merger in 2022, our new Tiverton office opening in January 2024, and several new partner promotions and lateral hires. In June 2023 we won the DASLS Law Firm of the Year award (£3M+ turnover), and in June 2024 our Managing Partner, James Griffin, won DASLS Leader of the Year Award. There is a real “feel good factor” and staff say they really enjoy working here.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of our great team and future, working in a professional and friendly atmosphere offering a competitive salary. If you are looking for a new challenge, please send your CV to [emailprotected] .
