Personal Injury Solicitor - Brighton

Personal injury has become a more demanding practice area to work in. Reforms, fixed costs and tighter margins have pushed some firms to treat it as a volume exercise. The firms that have stayed committed to doing it properly tend to stand out, and they tend to be the ones where a PI solicitor can actually develop their career rather than just process files.

RecQuest is working with a Brighton firm whose PI practice has real depth. They are looking for a Personal Injury Solicitor at the 1 to 4 years PQE level who has built their experience within PI specifically. This is not a role for someone moving across from clinical negligence looking for a lateral shift.

The role

• A dedicated personal injury caseload with proper variety across the work type

• A team that takes PI seriously as a standalone practice area, not as an overflow function

• Brighton base, with genuine flexibility considered for candidates commuting from London or elsewhere in the South East

What the firm is looking for

• Qualified Solicitor with 1 to 4 years PQE in personal injury

• PI background specifically, not clinical negligence

• Confident managing your own files with appropriate senior oversight

• Happy to commit to Brighton as a base

Why this is worth a conversation

If you have invested your early career in personal injury and you want a firm that has done the same, this is the conversation to have. The work is focused, the team is experienced, and the location works for candidates across a wide stretch of the South East. For the right PI solicitor, this is a role that lets you do the work properly rather than at volume.
