CRA Consulting is proud to be working with a nationally recognised Serious Injury practice as it continues to expand its high-value Serious Injury team.
This opportunity is ideal for a junior Solicitor, CILEX Lawyer or experienced Assistant Fee Earner who wants meaningful exposure to complex, high-value Serious Injury litigation, including £250k+ and catastrophic claims - all within a fully remote, well-supported environment.
This is a role designed to develop future fee earners and associates, not keep you in the background.
The Opportunity
You'll work closely with a senior lead fee earner on complex Serious Injury cases, while also managing a small personal caseload to build autonomy and technical confidence.
The work is predominantly RTA-based, involving technically challenging issues around liability, causation, and quantum, with a clear and structured pathway into higher-value cases and senior roles as your experience grows.
What you'll be doing
* Supporting a lead fee earner on high-value Serious Injury claims (£250k+ and catastrophic)
* Managing a small Serious Injury caseload with increasing responsibility
* Developing a deep understanding of case strategy, key issues, and next steps
* Progressing agreed actions efficiently and proactively
* Drafting statements, pleadings, and schedules of loss
* Analysing evidence on liability, causation, and quantum
* Instructing and liaising with medical experts, case managers, care experts, counsel, and other specialists
* Securing early interim payments and appropriate rehabilitation
* Acting as a key point of contact for clients and external stakeholders
* Maintaining accurate, high-quality records on the case management system
* Preparing documentation for conferences, settlement meetings, and client meetings
* Supporting profile-raising, networking, and business development activity
* Mentoring junior colleagues where appropriate
What they're looking for
* Qualified Solicitor or Fellow of CILEX, or equivalent experience at Grade B or C level
* Experience assisting on or managing Serious Injury or high-value PI claims
* Strong client-care ethos and attention to detail
* Confident communicator with developing negotiation skills
* Organised, proactive, and able to manage competing priorities
* Comfortable working in a structured, target-led environment
* Confident using case management systems, Word, and Excel
Desirable (but not essential)
* Exposure to catastrophic or complex Serious Injury claims
* Clear ambition to build a long-term career in Serious Injury litigation
* Experience mentoring or supporting junior colleagues
* Engagement with industry bodies, CPD, or profile-raising activity
Salary & Benefits - Why this role stands out
* £31,280 - £51,823 basic salary (DOE)
* Fully remote working (UK-based)
* Hands-on exposure to £250k+ and catastrophic Serious Injury cases
* Clear, structured progression into Fee Earner and Associate roles
* Supportive supervision, mentoring, and technical development
* Long-term career security within a specialist Serious Injury environment
