The Opportunity:


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.


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.


The Role:


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.


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.


Expect a broad and engaging caseload that may include:



  • Serious and catastrophic injury


Brain and spinal injuries


Complex orthopaedic injuries


Workplace accidents and employer liability claims


RTA and public liability matters


Litigation involving higher-value, nuanced medical evidence


Rehabilitation-focused work supported by external specialists



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




About You:


The firm are looking for someone to join at Senior Associate level or equivalent, with genuine scope to progress to Partner for those who want to step into a larger role within the team. The work is broad, complex, and meaningful, with support from a well-structured department.


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.


What's on Offer:



  • Leadership that genuinely supports senior lawyers


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


Meaningful autonomy and voice


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



If you’re looking for an opportunity that combines serious PI work, clear progression, and a firm that genuinely values senior expertise, this role offers a compelling platform. xwzovoh Apply using the button below.
