About the role

A UK-based, SRA-regulated law firm is looking for a UK-qualified Solicitor based in Pakistan, or a candidate with a UK law degree, with about one to two years of relevant legal experience, to review, develop and improve its Personal Injury (PI) processes and procedures. The consultant works closely with the PI team to build structured, efficient and compliant workflows from initial instruction through pre-litigation, litigation and closure.

Key responsibilities

• Review existing PI processes, precedents, templates, checklists and case-management procedures to find gaps and inefficiencies.
• Map and document the full PI lifecycle, from client enquiry and onboarding through to settlement, proceedings, litigation and file review, identifying responsibilities, actions, documentation and deadlines at each stage.
• Draft internal policies, procedures, SOPs, guidance notes and pre-litigation and litigation checklists.
• Help ensure processes comply with the SRA Standards and Regulations, Civil Procedure Rules, Pre-Action Protocols, limitation requirements, client-care obligations, confidentiality and data protection.
• Review the firm's use of LEAP for matter management, task allocation, diary control and deadline monitoring, and develop safeguards for limitation dates and court deadlines.
• Review the process for obtaining medical evidence and set up client communication templates and procedures.
• Develop a PI risk-management framework and reporting tools, including trackers and spreadsheets for active matters, deadlines and settlement progress.
• Work with PI fee earners, management and support staff to standardise the pre-litigation workflow.

Required profile

• At least one of: UK-qualified Solicitor (preferably based in Pakistan), or a UK legal qualification such as an LLB, LLM, GDL or SQE qualification with relevant experience.
• About 1-2 years of professional legal experience; UK law firm or UK legal-services experience is strongly preferred.
• Experience in Personal Injury, civil litigation, claims handling or dispute resolution is particularly advantageous.

Required skills

• Good understanding of the UK legal system, PI/civil litigation procedures and Pre-Action Protocols.
• Strong legal research and drafting skills, and attention to detail.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel or Google Workspace; LEAP or another case-management system is an advantage.
• Strong written and spoken English and the ability to work independently while coordinating with the wider legal team.

Applicants should submit an updated CV highlighting their UK legal qualifications, location, UK legal experience, PI or civil litigation background, SRA-regulated firm experience and LEAP or case-management experience. The work location is on-site.
