We’re a national law firm with a local reach. Our legal experts are here for you. Whether it’s personal or business, we understand that everyone’s situation is different. But we’re more than just a law firm – we’re a team of people working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life’s ups and downs. Working here you’ll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment.
Our Serious Injury team represents adults and children with life‑changing injuries, across South Wales and the South West of England. You’ll join the market‑leading team led by Partners James Davies and Deborah Rose, who have a combined experience of over 40 years in this field. The team represents clients with severe brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations and polytrauma as well as supporting bereaved families in fatal accident cases. The team regularly achieves multi‑million pound settlements and has been top‑ranked in the Legal 500 and Chambers UK for many years. We work closely with major trauma centres, rehabilitation units, charities and the police to ensure that our clients receive the best possible rehabilitation and support.
This is a Bristol / Cardiff based role, but there will be an occasional requirement to attend other Irwin Mitchell offices.
You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside lawyers at the top of their field, supporting clients with catastrophic injuries. Right from the beginning you’ll play a key part in securing rehabilitation for our clients and making a real difference in their lives.
You’ll have the confidence to hit the ground‑running and the ability to work as part of a team. The role will be highly rewarding, but you’ll have to be resilient and calm whilst putting your client’s needs first at all times. This role is open to anyone based in the South Wales or South West region. We adopt a truly flexible approach, meaning that you will have a high degree of choice about where and when you work. There is a requirement for some weekly office presence.
