About the role
An exciting career opportunity exists in our Newcastle office for a motivated lawyer or associate to join our leading insurance practice, focusing on motor accident (CTP) claims.
This role offers the chance to work on a mix of litigated and non-litigated matters involving complex liability, quantum and medical issues — providing valuable experience in handling large-scale and technical personal injury claims. You’ll work directly with a highly regarded partner within a collegiate, friendly and well-supported team, including paralegal and secretarial assistance.
We understand the importance of flexibility — this role is open to full-time or part-time arrangements, and we encourage you to discuss how we can make it work for you.
This is a great opportunity to:
* Build technical skills in complex personal injury litigation
* Develop strong client relationships with major insurers and stakeholders
* Be part of a firm that invests in your learning, development and career progression
About you
We are looking for a lawyer with:
* Experience in personal injury claims — either plaintiff or defendant (CTP or other personal injury experience is welcome but not essential)
* An interest in developing expertise in the motor accident space and broader insurance litigation
* Strong written and verbal communication skills
* A proactive, collaborative approach to work
* The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
What matters most is your enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and passion for delivering excellent client service.
We offer a competitive salary package reflective of your experience and capabilities, plus the opportunity to join a firm that genuinely supports your professional growth and work-life balance.
