You chose defendant insurance because you enjoy solving complex problems—not because you wanted your life to revolve around billing targets and impossible caseloads.
If you've found yourself wondering whether you can continue doing high-quality insurance litigation without sacrificing your evenings, your weekends or your enthusiasm for the job, you're not alone.
We're working with one of the UK's most respected defendant insurance practices to find a solicitor with around two to six years' PQE to join its growing Glasgow team.
This is the kind of role that reminds you why you chose this area of law in the first place.
You'll handle a varied caseload spanning employers' liability, public liability and disease claims, with opportunities to develop your experience across motor, fraud and more complex casualty litigation. You'll have the autonomy to run your own files while being supported by experienced colleagues who genuinely want to see you progress, rather than simply increasing your workload.
What really sets this opportunity apart is the culture.
The best insurance lawyers aren't leaving because they've fallen out of love with the work. They're looking for firms that understand outstanding legal advice doesn't have to come at the expense of a life outside the office. Hybrid working is genuinely embedded, flexibility is encouraged rather than merely promised, and there's a real emphasis on building a sustainable career instead of expecting people to be permanently switched on.
If you've built strong foundations defending employers' and public liability claims but you're ready for a role that offers better balance, broader exposure and the chance to enjoy your career again, this is well worth exploring.
Not every move is about chasing a bigger salary. Sometimes it's about finding a team where you can do your best work, continue developing as a litigator and still have the time and energy to enjoy everything outside the office.
If that sounds like the kind of change you've been hoping to find, I'd love to tell you more.
