• Qualified Solicitor with proven claimant clinical negligence experience, ideally with 5 or more years' PQE
• Demonstrated track record of handling high-value or catastrophic injury claims, including brain injury, spinal injury or cerebral palsy cases
• Hands-on litigation experience running files through to trial, joint settlement meetings or mediations
• Exceptional client care and communication skills, with the ability to advise vulnerable clients and their families empathetically

If this role isn’t quite right, it’s still worth speaking to one of our specialist team, as we may be working on something that hasn’t hit the market yet.
