The Role

There is an exciting opportunity for a clinical negligence lawyer to join the team and provide innovative solutions in what are often complex and high value cases. Ideally you will have a defendant clinical negligence background. Otherwise, a strong knowledge of either defendant insurance work or claimant clinical negligence experience is important.

Over the last three years we have dealt with hundreds of claims, ranging from minor injuries to multi-million pound cases. We are frequently involved in ground-breaking reported cases – most recently Thompstone v Tameside in which the Court of Appeal decided to link the indexation of future care payments to an earnings-related index rather than the Retail Prices Index.
