Your new company

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established claimant litigation practice with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality legal services to individuals. Due to continued growth, the firm is looking to recruit a lawyer into its specialist Clinical Negligence team and is open to considering candidates from a claimant personal injury background who are keen to retrain into this highly sought-after area of law.

Your new role

You will join a dedicated Clinical Negligence team handling a varied caseload of medical negligence claims. The firm is particularly interested in lawyers with personal injury litigation experience who are looking to make a long-term move into clinical negligence.

Working closely with experienced specialists, you will receive structured support and mentoring as you develop expertise across a broad range of matters, including:

• Delayed or missed diagnoses
• Surgical and treatment errors
• Birth and maternity-related claims
• GP negligence claims
• Fatal accident and dependency claims
• Complex, high-value injury matters

The role offers the opportunity to manage your own caseload while also assisting on more complex and higher-value claims as your experience develops.

What you'll need to succeed

Applications are welcomed from:

• NQ Solicitors, Solicitors or Chartered Legal Executives
• Candidates with claimant personal injury litigation experience
• Lawyers with strong case management and negotiation skills
• Individuals with experience handling litigated claims
• Candidates looking to retrain into claimant clinical negligence work
• Lawyers with a genuine interest in medical negligence and client care
• Previous clinical negligence experience is advantageous but not essential for candidates with a solid personal injury litigation background.

What you'll get in return

In return, you will benefit from:

• A genuine retrain opportunity into clinical negligence
• Exposure to high-quality and complex medical negligence work
• Ongoing training and mentoring from experienced specialists
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Clear opportunities for progression and long-term career development
• Supportive and collaborative team environment
