Job Description

Join a Leading Firm - Work on Complex, High-Impact Litigation Cases
We are proud to be partnering with a top-tier Northern Ireland law firm to recruit a Litigation Solicitor for their well-established and highly regarded litigation team in Belfast. This is an outstanding opportunity to work on some of the most complex and meaningful personal injury cases in the region - including medical negligence, industrial disease, and brain injury claims.
This role is ideal for a solicitor seeking varied, high-quality litigation work. While the caseload will primarily focus on plaintiff matters, there is also the opportunity to handle defence litigation for those interested in a mixed practice.
All levels of PQE will be considered, and the firm offers a supportive, progressive environment where your development and wellbeing are prioritised.
Key Responsibilities:
Manage a broad range of personal injury claims, including high-value and sensitive cases involving medical negligence, brain injury, and industrial disease
Act on behalf of both Plaintiffs and Defendants (depending on your preference and experience)
Handle asbestos-related litigation as part of your portfolio
Draft legal documents, engage with counsel and expert witnesses, and provide clear, strategic advice to clients
Represent clients at hearings, mediations, and settlement discussions
Maintain strong client relationships and contribute to the overall success of the team
About You:
Qualified Solicitor in Northern Ireland
Experience in personal injury or civil litigation (medical negligence and disease litigation experience highly desirable but not essential)
Excellent communication, file management, and client care skills
A motivated, collaborative mindset with a passion for high-quality legal work
Ability to work independently with appropriate supervision and support
What's on Offer:
Salary: xc2xa340,000-xc2xa355,000, depending on experience
Performance-based bonus
Private medical insurance and other benefits
Generous annual leave and additional wellbeing days
Flexible working arrangements to support a healthy work-life balance
Regular staff wellbeing initiatives and team social events
Ongoing professional development with a clear path for progression
This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your litigation career in a respected firm, while working on high-value, life-changing cases that make a real difference. If you're ready to take the next step in a supportive, forward-thinking team, we'd love to hear from you.
