Build a Career That Matters.
At Keoghs we don’t just handle claims—we help shape outcomes in some of the most complex and sensitive cases in the UK.
We’re now looking for a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer to join our market‑leading Complex Injury Team.

- Work on catastrophic and complex claims valued up to £10m+.
- Collaborate with industry‑leading lawyers and insurer clients.
- Gain exposure to cutting‑edge legal and medical issues.
- Play a key role in mentoring and developing junior talent.
- Enjoy flexible hybrid working (minimum 1 day in office).
- What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be at the heart of complex litigation—managing or supporting high‑value catastrophic injury claims from instruction through to resolution.
- Managing a caseload of serious injury claims including ultra‑high‑value matters.
- Advising on liability, quantum, and indemnity issues.
- Working closely with a Lead Lawyer on multi‑million‑pound cases.
- Building strong, trusted relationships with insurer clients.

What we're looking for
We’re seeking a technically strong, commercially aware lawyer who thrives in a high‑performance environment.

- Ability to handle or support complex, high‑value cases with confidence.
- Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and decision‑making skills.
- Calm under pressure, with strong prioritisation and organisational ability.

We anticipate this role will be appointed up to Senior Associate level; however, this will ultimately depend on the successful candidate’s experience.
We welcome applications from individuals across a range of experience levels, and the appropriate level will be discussed during the application and interview process.
