Own your own portfolio of plaintiff personal injury matters, backed by a dedicated claims handler and paralegal who carry the procedural load. If you’d rather spend your day on strategy, clients and outcomes than on file admin, this is a role worth reading about.

About the role

At Ascent, you run your own files with real autonomy. You make the legal decisions, manage the client relationship, and direct your support team on the procedural work — medical records, file progression, correspondence with insurers and experts, research. You’ll work alongside our Practice Leader, who leads supervision, quality and training across the team.

This suits someone who enjoys client contact, uses technology and AI, and wants their time going to high-value legal work.

What you’ll do

- Own client relationships from first consultation through to resolution — strategic advice, managing expectations, being the person the client relies on
- Direct your claims handler and paralegal on procedural work while you stay on strategy
- Make the key legal calls on your matters, brief and prepare for counsel, and appear at court and settlement conferences

What you’ll bring

- Current QLS practising certificate
- Minimum 2 years PAE, with experience in plaintiff personal injury
- Exceptional written and verbal communication
- Robust file management and organisation
- Self-motivated and proactive,



comfortable working independently
- Comfortable with cloud platforms, legal tech and AI tools
