The role

Why join us?

Our nationally recognised Catastrophic Loss team at DWF (one of the largest in the UK) are currently recruiting for an Associate to join their team in Leeds.

The team represent a wide range of leading insurers, including many household names, specialising in complex, high value cases. These cases include Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs), Employers' Liability (EL), and Public Liability (PL) matters, with claim values ranging from £150,000 to £20 million.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-performing team handling some of the most challenging and rewarding cases in the industry with opportunities for progression.

This is a fully assisting role where you would work closely with Partners assisting on large value cases.

What you'll do

Assisting senior team members on high value complex cases.
Advising clients, including insurers and corporate clients, on liability, quantum, and litigation strategy.
Drafting documents, preparing for court, and engaging in settlement negotiations.
Developing and maintaining strong client relationships through excellent service delivery.
Staying updated on legal developments in catastrophic injury and insurance law.

How you'll work

The role is hybrid and we can consider candidates in Leeds. We will consider candidate based further afield as long as they have the ability to travel to Leeds fortnightly.
