Clinical Negligence Associate

My client, a Top 100 UK Law firm is seeking a Solicitor at Associate level to join their Clinical Negligence team in Birmingham. This role focuses on defendant work, but we welcome applications from solicitors with experience in either defendant or claimant clinical negligence cases.

This opportunity has emerged due to the department's continued expansion. In this role, you will primarily act for NHS Resolution (NHSR) and private healthcare providers. The department features specialist teams focusing on areas such as brain and spinal cord injuries, obstetrics, GP and dental cases, and mental health, alongside multidisciplinary teams handling a diverse range of matters.

The ideal candidate will have 2–6 years PQE and prior experience in clinical negligence (defendant or claimant). The salary for this position is £50,000–£58,000, depending on experience. The working pattern includes two days in the office and three days working from home, with court attendance counting as an in-office day.

The firm offers an impressive range of benefits typical of a top-tier organisation, including 25 days of annual leave plus a Christmas shutdown, health and dental insurance, a car scheme, and life assurance at three times your salary, among others. They consistently rank highly in employee-voted publications like Roll on Friday. The office itself is stunning, situated in the heart of Birmingham city centre.

There are real opportunities for progression, there are plenty of examples of solicitors making their way to Partner and if that is what you desire you will be given a clear pathway to get there.
