More About Moore Barlow
Formed via a merger in 2020, Moore Barlow is a leading law firm aiming to be the best law firm to work for regionally. We are a career firm, providing access to high-quality work, long-term career opportunities and an environment built on the premise of being “human first” in everything we do. We care as much about your career as you do. We are featured in The Times’ Best Law Firms 2024 list and consistently achieve recognition for the quality of our services in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners. We are now 450 people, including 280 lawyers and 58 Partners, with offices across the South-East and London.
The Serious Injury Team
As one of the UK’s top personal injury law firms, we regularly secure multi-million-pound settlements for our clients, who in most cases receive 100% compensation. Our approach is holistic, encompassing not only our client’s future financial, care, medical, and practical needs but also ensuring they have the appropriate emotional guidance and support. Our team are predominantly involved in complex and high-value cases involving:
* Adult brain injury
* Child brain injury
* Complex orthopaedic, including amputation
* Fatal incidents, including inquest
Our lawyers work within small teams led by one of the Partners, as opposed to each matter being assigned to an individual fee-earner. This means that our clients benefit from the collective expertise of several members of the team to help them achieve their goals. For our team members, this provides access to high-quality work regardless of their level of experience and offers the opportunity to develop on the job with the support of a wider team. We believe in empowering our team members and giving them the confidence and opportunity to get involved in a wide variety of serious injury matters.
What We Look For
* A qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with prior experience working as part of a personal injury team, ideally with exposure to matters involving catastrophic injuries.
* While we do not use PQE as the sole measure of experience, we expect this position will suit individuals at “Grade B” or above – i.e. with a minimum of four years of experience.
* You will be calm under pressure, adopt a naturally proactive approach to your work, and have the ability to provide support to numerous colleagues across the team.
* You will be naturally caring, empathetic, and confident in engaging with very vulnerable individuals and their families who are often facing extremely difficult circumstances.
* You will be confident in building relationships within and outside of your immediate team, and working collaboratively to achieve the best possible outcomes for your clients.
* We are human-first in everything we do and seek people who share this trait. You will therefore have great communication skills, a passion for helping clients achieve their goals and the ability to think creatively.
What We Can Offer
* Hybrid, flexible working and different work patterns where possible.
* 27/28 days’ annual leave (plus leave carry over as applicable).
* Private medical insurance, income protection, life assurance and a generous pension scheme.
* Firm-wide bonus scheme and opportunities for personal development.
