Medical Law Solicitor

This is an excellent opportunity to join a leading Medical Negligence team recognised for its expertise in complex, high-value claimant work. You will manage your own caseload of medical negligence matters, while also supporting senior colleagues on more complex and high-profile claims. The caseload will include a broad spectrum of work such as birth injury claims, delayed diagnosis (including cancer), neurological injuries, and other serious and life-changing cases.

You will work closely with clients and their families, providing a compassionate and high-quality service throughout the lifecycle of each claim. The team operates a collaborative one-team approach across multiple locations, giving you access to shared knowledge, specialist expertise, and strong internal support. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to business development initiatives, including attending events and producing thought leadership content.

You will be a qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with experience in Medical Negligence work. While PQE is used as a general guide, candidates are likely to fall around the 2-4 years post-qualified experience mark, although applications outside of this range will be considered based on experience. You will have strong technical knowledge of medical negligence claims, including familiarity with the pre-action protocol and Civil Procedure Rules.

Strong analytical ability is essential, particularly when reviewing complex medical records and identifying key issues. You will be proactive, adaptable, and able to manage competing priorities under pressure, while maintaining high levels of accuracy and professionalism. A genuine empathy for clients, alongside a creative and solution-focused mindset, will be key to success in this role.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on high-quality, impactful cases while developing your career within a forward-thinking organisation. The firm offers flexible, hybrid working and is open to a range of working patterns, supporting a healthy work-life balance. In addition to a competitive salary, you can expect a comprehensive benefits package and structured career development, with clear progression pathways and ongoing investment in your professional growth.

If this role isn't quite right but you're exploring new opportunities, we would still be pleased to hear from you. The firm would typically expect a lawyer within the stated PQE range to have gained the relevant level of experience, though applications from candidates with slightly more or less PQE are welcomed.
