Job Description
Steele Charles are delighted to be working on behalf of a growing, modern law firm to recruit a Scottish-qualified litigation solicitor with experience in pursuer personal injury work.
This opportunity is ideal for a solicitor who enjoys running their own cases, making strategic decisions, and actually progressing matters through litigation — while having a strong support team behind them.
The ideal candidate will be based in Scotland or Northern England, although remote options considered.
Why This Role Stands Out? - This is not a high-volume processing role.
You will have:
* Full control of your own diary
* Ownership of your own caseload
* Access to a large, experienced paralegal team to handle admin and process-heavy tasks
* The ability to focus on litigation strategy, negotiation, and client outcomes
* A flexible, largely remote working model
This position suits a litigator who wants to practice at the right level, rather than being buried in procedural work.
The Work
You’ll manage a caseload of pursuer personal injury claims, including:
* Litigated PI matters
* Disputed liability and quantum
* Medical evidence and expert instruction
* Settlement negotiations
* Sheriff Court procedure and, where appropriate, higher court matters
We are looking for someone confident raising and progressing court actions, not purely pre-litigation claims handling.
About You:
* Scottish-qualified Solicitor (essential)
* 2+ years PQE in litigation
* Proven experience handling pursuer personal injury claims
* Experience of litigated cases and Scottish civil procedure
* Comfortable working independently and making tactical decisions
* Strong communicator with a client-focused approach
The Opportunity:
* Competitive salary and benefits
* Flexible/remote working structure
* Strong internal support systems
* Collaborative, progressive firm culture
* Genuine scope to develop your litigation profile
