Clinical Negligence Principal Associate – Top Tier Firm – Birmingham – £70,000 to 110,000

£70k - £110k per annum
Clinical Negligence Principal Associate – Top Tier Firm – Birmingham – £70,000+ 110,000 


The firm
This is a top-tier national firm with a genuinely standout healthcare practice, operating at the sharp end of clinical negligence and wider healthcare law. The team doesn’t just handle claims, it sits right at the intersection of law, medicine and public policy. You’ll be working alongside specialists who understand the NHS inside out, including professionals with clinical backgrounds, giving the team a real edge when it comes to strategy and outcomes. The work is varied, complex and constantly evolving, reflecting the pace of the healthcare sector. It is a firm that invests heavily in its people, offering a supportive but high-performing environment where progression is very much on the table.


The role

  • Manage a caseload of complex, high-value clinical negligence claims, both pre and post-litigation
  • Act for NHS bodies and healthcare providers on a wide range of matters including:
    • Catastrophic injury and high-value claims
    • Patient safety and clinical governance issues
    • Consent to treatment, mental health and child law matters
  • Conduct detailed investigations, reviewing medical evidence and instructing experts to support claim strategy
  • Liaise with claimants, solicitors, counsel, experts and clients to drive matters forward
  • Take ownership of case strategy, including defending and resolving claims effectively
  • Supervise and develop junior lawyers within the team
  • Play a key role in client-facing initiatives and support wider business development activity
  • Ensure compliance with client protocols, deadlines, KPIs and financial targets
Looking for a role where you are not just firefighting claims, but genuinely shaping how they are defended and resolved?


You

  • Qualified solicitor with 5+ PQE in clinical negligence
  • Strong technical grounding with a solid understanding of CPR and litigation processes
  • Experience managing complex, high-value matters with confidence and autonomy
  • Genuine interest in the healthcare sector and the wider issues impacting it
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interrogate medical evidence in detail
  • Excellent communication skills and confidence dealing with a range of stakeholders
  • Organised, disciplined and able to manage competing priorities effectively
  • Comfortable working both independently and as part of a wider team
  • Motivated to contribute to team growth and take on additional responsibility
What would it look like to step into a position where your technical ability is matched by real influence within the team and with clients?


Benefits

  • Exposure to top-tier, nationally significant clinical negligence work
  • Clear progression pathway at senior level within a growing healthcare practice
  • Supportive, high-performing team with genuine investment in development
  • Opportunity to be involved in business development and client strategy
  • Modern working environment with flexible working culture
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
Opportunities like this, combining quality work, progression and influence, are rare in the Birmingham market.
