Senior Personal Injury Lawyer

Senior Personal Injury Lawyer – Overview

I have an interesting opportunity with 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, the firm is looking to appoint a Senior Personal Injury Lawyer to join 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 real impact, enjoy visibility with leadership, and progress at a realistic pace, without navigating layers of unnecessary hierarchy.

We 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.

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

Leadership that genuinely supports senior lawyers:

• honest conversations about progression
• support to grow their profile
• influence over team development and processes

Meaningful autonomy and voice:

This is a team where senior lawyers can shape client relationships, mentor junior colleagues, contribute to business development in a way that feels natural, and have a seat at the table when it comes to departmental direction.

Balanced working culture:

• hybrid working, genuine flexibility, and a sensible approach to workload management
• more ownership of cases
• better quality of life
• culture where people support each other
• long-term client relationships instead of transactional volume work
• commercial but never at the expense of wellbeing

Who this will suit:

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.

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.
