Home Working Clinical Negligence Solicitor

Job description

I’m currently working with a nationally recognised claimant law firm, widely regarded as one of the UK’s leading specialists in clinical negligence and serious injury litigation.

The firm is consistently ranked by the leading legal directories, including The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, and is known for acting on complex, high-value and life-changing claims for individuals and families.

Due to continued growth, the firm is now recruiting Clinical Negligence Solicitors at all levels, from around 1 year PQE through to senior grade (8+ PQE), to join its expanding and well-established team.

The Firm

This is a practice that has built its reputation on:

• Technical excellence
• Empathy and client care
• Outstanding results in complex claims

The team includes nationally respected specialists accredited by APIL, AvMA and the Law Society, and the culture is genuinely people-focused — both for clients and employees.

The firm is also well known for its progressive and flexible approach to working. Hybrid and remote models are fully embedded, and senior lawyers can work with as little as one or two days per month in the Leeds office, if preferred.

The Role

You will manage a claimant clinical negligence caseload appropriate to your level of experience, handling matters from instruction through to resolution or litigation.

The work is meaningful and often complex, involving serious injury and challenging medical issues. You will be supported by an experienced infrastructure of medical experts, counsel and specialist support teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing a clinical negligence caseload independently
• Drafting pleadings and key litigation documents
• Negotiating settlements and preparing cases for trial
• Liaising with clients, medical experts and counsel
• Delivering clear, compassionate and practical advice
• Maintaining compliant and accurate case records
• Contributing to departmental performance and service delivery

More senior solicitors will also have the opportunity to:

• Supervise and mentor junior colleagues
• Lead on strategy in high-value and complex cases
• Contribute to departmental leadership and growth

About You

The firm is open to candidates across a broad range of levels and will tailor the role accordingly.

You will ideally be:

• A qualified solicitor (or equivalent) with clinical negligence experience
• Confident managing your own files and progressing cases proactively
• A strong drafter and communicator
• IT-literate and comfortable with case management systems
• Collaborative and supportive in your approach

For senior candidates (circa 8+ PQE), you will also demonstrate:

• Experience handling high-value and complex claims
• Confidence supervising and mentoring others
• An interest in contributing to strategic growth

Salary & Benefits

The firm offers a highly competitive and comprehensive package, including:

✔ Competitive salary with performance-related bonus

✔ 35-hour working week

✔ 35 days’ annual leave (including bank holidays & Christmas closure)

✔ Option to purchase additional leave

✔ Enhanced holiday entitlement with long service

✔ Hybrid and remote working options

✔ Enhanced maternity, paternity & IVF policies

✔ Company sick pay

✔ Contributory pension (salary sacrifice available)

✔ Life assurance

✔ Health cash plan (dental, optical & routine medical costs)

✔ Monthly recognition awards & funded social events

✔ Clear Associate and Partner progression pathways

✔ Ongoing structured training and development

Interested?

Whether you are developing your expertise or looking to step into a senior, strategic role, this is an opportunity to join a market-leading clinical negligence practice offering high-quality work, genuine flexibility and long-term progression.
