• Review cases and other relevant matters with supervisor to ensure quality legal advice is provided.

About You

• 5+ years PQE in Clinical Negligence with mainly Claimant experience.
• Experience of handling your own cases, including litigated cases.
• A clear enthusiasm for this area of law and a commitment to securing the best outcomes for your clients.

• Experience in line management and supervision of junior team members.
• Commercial awareness.
• An aptitude for business development and a passion for growing strong client and external relationships.
