I’m currently working in partnership with a highly regarded Legal 500 firm looking to appoint an Associate Solicitor within its Clinical Negligence team, ideally with experience in birth injury work, as part of its continued and ambitious growth plans.
This is a standout opportunity for an Associate seeking not only high quality, complex work, but also the chance to work directly alongside the Head of Department, gaining real insight into and influence over the ongoing direction and development of a growing practice.
The Firm
The firm has built a strong national reputation in Clinical Negligence and Healthcare Law, acting for a diverse portfolio of regional and national clients. It combines technical excellence with a modern, collaborative culture, driven by an entrepreneurial leadership team with a clear vision for sustainable expansion.
The team places genuine emphasis on quality over volume, fostering a supportive environment where collaboration is prioritised over rigid billing targets, allowing lawyers to handle high calibre work while maintaining a healthy work life balance.
The Role
You will manage your own caseload of complex Clinical Negligence matters, with a particular focus on birth injury and obstetric claims, alongside other high value and sensitive cases, including:
- Birth injury and cerebral palsy claims
- Obstetric negligence matters
- Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis claims
- Surgical error cases
- Failures in medical treatment and patient care
A key highlight of this role is the opportunity to work closely with the Head of Department on a daily basis, contributing not only to complex litigation but also to the strategic growth and direction of the team. You will have meaningful involvement beyond your caseload, including business development and shaping the future of the practice.
The Ideal Candidate
- Proven experience handling birth injury and obstetric claims
- Experience managing complex, high value matters
- Strong technical ability and attention to detail
- Commercial awareness and excellent client care skills
- A genuine interest in contributing to team growth and development
This role is particularly well suited to an Associate looking to deepen their expertise while stepping into a position that offers greater visibility, influence and long term progression.
Why Apply?
- Join a Legal 500 recognised Clinical Negligence team
- Work directly with and learn from the Head of Department
- Play a key role in shaping a growing and ambitious practice
- Exposure to high quality, high value litigation
- Genuine hybrid and flexible working
- Clear and achievable career progression
- Supportive, collaborative culture
If you are a Clinical Negligence Associate with birth injury experience considering your next move, I would welcome a confidential discussion. Please apply via the link or contact Rachael Atherton at G2 Legal Recruitment.
