Senior Clinical Negligence Associate

Job description

Senior Clinical Negligence Lawyer | 6+ PQE | Bristol | Hybrid

If you're an experienced Clinical Negligence Lawyer looking for high-quality work without the bureaucracy that often comes with larger national firms, this could be worth a conversation.

I'm working with a highly regarded Bristol firm that's looking to grow its specialist Clinical

Negligence team. The department is consistently recognised by both Chambers & Partners and

The Legal 500, with a reputation for handling some of the region's most complex and high-value

claims.

You'll be trusted with a varied caseload of serious and catastrophic injury claims while working alongside recognised specialists in the field. The role also offers the opportunity to mentor junior lawyers, play a part in developing the team and get involved in business development if that's something you enjoy.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing a complex caseload of pre-action and litigated clinical negligence claims.

• Advising on funding arrangements including CFAs, Legal Aid and legal expenses insurance.

• Drafting pleadings, witness statements and court documents.

• Instructing experts and Counsel on high-value matters.

• Representing clients at hearings, inquests and case management conferences where appropriate.

• Supporting and mentoring junior members of the team.

• Playing an active role in the continued growth of the department.

About you:

You'll be a Solicitor or Legal Executive with 6+ years' PQE and strong experience handling claimant clinical negligence matters. Accreditation with APIL, AvMA or the Law Society would be welcomed but isn't essential.

Why consider this opportunity?

This is a firm that's built a strong reputation in the Bristol market, not just for the quality of its work, but for how it looks after its people. You'll find a genuinely supportive team, sensible hybrid working, quality supervision where needed, and the opportunity to continue developing your career without feeling like just another number.
