About this role
Make your expertise count. Change lives. Shape a team. Thompsons Solicitors is expanding our respected Industrial Disease team in Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol and the North West — and we’re looking for a Senior Lawyer who’s ready to make a real impact on both clients and colleagues. Our team represents individuals affected by serious occupational illnesses, including NIHL, HAVS, occupational asthma, WRULD, stress-related conditions and other complex disease claims. Many clients are navigating life‑changing circumstances, and we’re proud to deliver a service that is both technically excellent and deeply human. You’ll manage a varied, high‑value Multi Track caseload from initial instruction through to trial, developing strategy, investigating complex evidence and litigating confidently. As a senior lawyer in the team, you’ll also play a key part in supervising and supporting colleagues. You’ll provide technical guidance, help shape case strategies, and contribute to maintaining best practice across the team. While this isn’t a formal line management role, your expertise, mentorship and collaborative style will help others grow — and strengthen the team as a whole.
