A role with purpose and potential

You’ll work on a varied caseload of medical negligence claims, including high-value and complex cases involving serious injuries and life-changing consequences. These may include birth injuries, brain injuries, delayed diagnosis and other forms of clinical negligence.

The work calls for sound legal judgement, attention to detail and a compassionate, client-focused approach. You’ll have the opportunity to take responsibility for your caseload, develop your expertise and contribute to a team committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for its clients.

We’re looking for someone with medical negligence experience who is keen to build on their knowledge and play a part in the continued growth of the team.

Why Middleton Law?

We’re a growing national firm with a modern approach to legal practice. We take our responsibilities to clients seriously, but believe a rewarding legal career should offer more than a demanding caseload.

• Expertise and experience: Work within a medical negligence team led by Neil Fearn, whose 30-plus years of experience include some of the most serious and complex clinical negligence claims.
• A strong professional reputation: Middleton Law is recognised by Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500.
• Hybrid working and flexible hours, with an office base in Leeds.
• Competitive salary and uncapped earning potential, recognising your contribution.
• Administrative and operational support, leaving you more time for clients and legal work.
• Marketing and business development support to help grow your practice.
• Modern IT systems to support efficient, flexible working.
• Pension and Death in Service benefits.

The role is full-time (37.5 hours per week), although flexible arrangements may be possible for the right person.
