CL Medilaw prides itself in doing things differently. The “CL” in our name stands for “Changing Lives”: it’s what we do; it’s how we do it; and it’s why we do it. We are driven by putting our clients first, and committed to giving back to local and national charities, who support our clients and their families through the most challenging circumstances, when they have suffered medical negligence or serious injury. CL Medilaw represents clients across the UK. We are recognised experts acting for people who have suffered a birth injury, brain injury, amputation, spinal injury, delay in diagnosing cancer and fatal injuries. We provide a holistic service to our clients with our involvement often including deputyship and trusts, and education and welfare advice. The level of expertise in our team is recognised by accreditations from The Law Society, AvMA, APIL and the Brain Injury Group. The success of CL Medilaw is derived from our one-team and client centered approach to our cases and the business as a whole. We are not monitored or driven by financial targets but by achieving the best outcome for our clients. The success of the team means we are looking to expand and we are looking for talented professionals who share our values.
Although the roles below are an immediate requirement, we will consider applications that reflect our culture at all levels. CL Medilaw operates nationally with key locations in Brighton, Birmingham, Oxford, Wilmslow and Kings Hill but with other offices including in Manchester, Chester, Exeter, Cheltenham, Leeds, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield and York. CL Medilaw is a trading name of Knights Professional Services Limited. Knights is the fastest growing, legal and professional services business with a unique culture. A distinct separation between management and professional advisors means we are always working in the best interests of our clients and colleagues.
