Your new role
This Defendant Clinical Negligence Associate role will see you handle your own caseload of litigated and pre-litigated clinical negligence claims on behalf of NHS Resolution.

You will be required to attend hearings, settlement meetings and case conferences when needed.

What you'll need to succeed
You must be a qualified solicitor with a minimum of 3 years post-qualification experience. You must have strong experience handling your own caseload of defendant clinical negligence files. Ideally, applicants will have direct NHSR exposure.

What you'll get in return
This is a fantastic opportunity for defendant clinical negligence solicitors to join a top-tier Healthcare team working on behalf of high-profile clients. A competitive salary and hybrid working is available and negotiable dependent on experience.
