Healthcare Litigation Solicitor

Defendant Clinical Negligence Solicitor | Manchester / Liverpool

I'm currently working with a leading national law firm that is looking to add to its established Healthcare Litigation team, with opportunities available in Manchester or Liverpool.

The team acts for NHS Resolution and other healthcare providers, dealing with a high-quality caseload of complex and often high-value clinical negligence claims.

It's a great opportunity for an experienced defendant clinical negligence solicitor - and they're also open to claimant clinical negligence lawyers looking to make the move across to defendant work.

The role:

Manage your own caseload of defendant clinical negligence claims from inception through to resolution
Assist on more complex and high-value matters
Draft pleadings and witness statements
Instruct and work with counsel and medical experts
Attend conferences, mediations and court hearings
Work closely with NHS Trusts and healthcare professionals
Get involved in business development where appropriate

What they're looking for:

Solicitor with defendant clinical negligence experience
NHS Resolution experience would be advantageous, but isn't essential
Claimant clinical negligence experience will also be considered
Strong technical ability and attention to detail
Excellent communication and client care skills
Able to manage a busy caseload effectively
Proactive, collaborative and commercially minded

On offer:

High-quality and complex clinical negligence work
Manchester or Liverpool location
Hybrid working
Supportive and well-structured team
Clear training and progression opportunities
Competitive salary and benefits package
