Sports & Insurance Solicitor Equine & Rugby Specialist Litigation Yorkshire NQ-4 PQE Hybrid If you're a Personal Injury or Insurance Solicitor who has an interest in sport, this is a slightly different opportunity. QED's client is a national law firm with a growing specialist Sports and Insurance practice, and they're looking to add a Solicitor to the team as the volume of work continues to increase. The work sits at the intersection of Sports, Personal Injury and Insurance litigation, with a particularly interesting mix of specialist Equine work, EL/PL claims and serious injury litigation. The Equine side of the practice includes work for insurers, racing teams, sporting organisations and other high-end clients within the sector. There is also significant Rugby litigation, including complex brain injury work, alongside wider Sports-related disputes. You don't need to have worked in Equine or Sports Law before. In fact, the preference is for someone with a solid litigation background who can be developed into the specialist practice. What you need to have: Qualified Solicitor with NQ-4 years PQE. Experience in Personal Injury, EL/PL, Casualty or Insurance Litigation. A good understanding of the Civil Procedure Rules. Experience dealing with liability and quantum. Comfortable handling litigation and working towards trial. Strong drafting and analytical skills. Good client-handling skills. An interest in developing into Sports, Equine or specialist Insurance litigation. Defendant-side experience would be useful, particularly for the EL/PL and Rugby work, but isn't essential. You'll be joining a specialist practice that is still growing rather than stepping into a fixed role with an established caseload. The work comes from sophisticated insurance clients and includes some genuinely unusual matters that you simply won't encounter in a standard PI role. There's the chance to develop expertise in Equine liability and insurance, alongside exposure to major Rugby and serious injury litigation. The wider Sports offering also covers areas such as Employment, Safeguarding and Commercial Law, giving you access to a broader sports-focused legal network. The person joining will be working closely with an established specialist practitioner and will have the opportunity to develop their own knowledge, relationships and niche as the practice grows. If you're currently working in Personal Injury, EL/PL, Casualty or Insurance Litigation and want to do something more specialist with it, this is one I'd be interested in talking through. For a confidential discussion or to learn more about the firm and the opportunity, please contact Eoghan at QED Legal Recruitment Ltd.
