A senior technical leadership role - without the burnout
CRA Consulting is partnering with a large, highly respected national Serious Injury practice to appoint an Associate Team Leader as part of its continued investment in senior technical leadership. This is a credible step-up or lateral move for an experienced Serious Injury solicitor or senior fee earner who enjoys technical excellence, mentoring, and influencing outcomes, but wants to do so in a modern, flexible environment that values expertise.
You’ll work on complex, high-value RTA Serious Injury claims (£100,000-£1m+), supporting senior colleagues and shaping best practice across the department - all within a genuinely supportive leadership structure.
The Opportunity
This role sits at the heart of the Serious Injury leadership function. Rather than carrying a heavy personal caseload, you’ll focus on technical supervision, strategy, and people development, acting as a trusted sounding board for senior fee earners handling some of the most challenging claims in the business.
It’s an opportunity to lead through expertise, influence outcomes at scale, and build a long‑term leadership career - without sacrificing work‑life balance.

* Using MI and performance data to improve outcomes and productivity
* Mentoring senior colleagues and helping develop future technical leaders
* Collaborating closely with Team Leaders, Technical Leads, and senior management
* Playing an active role in embedding best practice and business‑wide improvements
What they’re looking for
* Solicitor, FILEX or equivalent professional background
* 8+ years’ PQE
* Strong track record in high‑value, multi‑track Serious Injury / RTA litigation
* Experience supervising, mentoring, or coaching senior fee earners
* Excellent technical knowledge of CPR, costs, funding, and litigation strategy
* Comfortable working within a performance‑led environment
* Confident using case management systems (Proclaim ideal, not essential)
* Commercially aware, organised, and emotionally intelligent
Key Technical Strengths
* Multi‑track litigation (including cost budgeting)
* Liability, quantum, and evidential strategy
* High‑value special damages claims
* Billing oversight, MI interpretation, and performance analysis
* Training, competency assessment, and technical development
* Risk management on £100k+ Serious Injury cases
Salary & Benefits - Why this role stands out
* £57,600 - £72,000 basic salary
* Fully remote working (with occasional, agreed office attendance)
* 35‑hour working week
* Agile, adult working culture with real flexibility
