Job Description

Senior Personal Injury Lawyer | Ipswich / Hybrid

n

The Opportunity:

n

This is an interesting opportunity for a Senior PI Lawyer to join a well-established regional law firm with a strong reputation across Suffolk and the East of England. With over 200 staff and a growing regional footprint, you will be joining their highly regarded Injury Services division in Suffolk.

n

The firm is recognised for its excellent claimant offering, strong client care ethos, and ability to combine high-quality work with a genuinely supportive, down-to-earth culture. It’s the kind of environment where senior lawyers can have a real impact, enjoy visibility with leadership, and progress at a realistic pace — without navigating layers of unnecessary hierarchy.

n

The Role:

n

The Injury Services department handles a wide range of claimant work, including serious and catastrophic injuries, workplace accidents, road traffic claims, complex liability disputes, and high-value recoveries.

n

You will be stepping into a practice with a long-established stream of instructions — not a “build your own caseload” scenario. There is more than enough work to support a senior hire from day one.

n

Expect a broad and engaging caseload that may include:

n

    n

  • Serious and catastrophic injury
  • n

  • Brain and spinal injuries
  • n

  • Complex orthopaedic injuries
  • n

  • Workplace accidents and employer liability claims
  • n

  • RTA and public liability matters
  • n

  • Litigation involving higher-value, nuanced medical evidence
  • n

  • Rehabilitation-focused work supported by external specialists
  • n

The team regularly handles significant-value work and is recognised for its depth of expertise and client-focused approach.

n

A senior personal injury lawyer who enjoys managing high-quality work, values autonomy, and wants a firm where progression is realistic and not blocked by layers of hierarchy. Someone who wants to blend meaningful client care with complex, rewarding casework — in a supportive, well-led team.

n

What's on Offer:

    n

  • Leadership that genuinely supports senior lawyers
  • n

  • Transparent and achievable pathway to Partner, aligned with the firm’s ongoing investment in its PI offering.

  • n

  • Hybrid working, genuine flexibility, and a sensible approach to workload management.
  • n
