Serious Injury Solicitor

Serious Injury Solicitor – Manchester – Hybrid – up to £60,000

The Role

This is a superb opportunity to join an award-winning, modern, dynamic, and supportive law firm offering specialist quality legal advice for Personal and Catastrophic Injury.

The firm is recognised across the region for its outstanding client care and high-quality work. Due to the development and expansion of the firm’s Serious Injury team, it is now seeking an Assistant Lawyer to work alongside existing Partners, driving a resilient and varied legal practice.

The successful candidate will assist on complex Serious Injury claims from inception to settlement, including high-value brain and spinal injury cases. Strong expertise in multi-track litigation is desirable along with a proven history in assisting high-value matters, both pre- and post-litigation.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
