Want to do things differently and make a real difference by helping those affected by injury every day? Then CFG is just the place for you.

We are currently recruiting Serious Injury Solicitors/Legal Executives to join our growing firm, working flexibly from home and our locally serviced offices, who would handle a Personal Injury caseload of multi-track cases and to assist more senior fee earners with high value/ catastrophic injury cases.

We do things differently at CFG. We put outcomes before profit. We don’t take unnecessary deductions like shortfall from settlements because we believe that those affected by injury should keep their damages.

We are one of the few law firms who are Trusted Legal Partners of the Spinal Injuries Association in more than one region. We work with our partners and aim to lead change in the sector and beyond to improve the lives of people living with serious and catastrophic injury.

We pride ourselves on investing in our colleagues, demonstrated through our Investors In People Gold Standard accreditation. We’re also recognised by Best Companies as one of the best law firms in the country to work for, we have a flexible hybrid working policy, a genuine team-working culture and are committed to helping colleagues develop their careers.
