We are looking for a Solicitor to join our leading Medical Negligence team, based in our Newcastle office. 

As the UK’s leading clinical and medical negligence law firm, we are committed to making a positive difference to our clients’ lives. Our specialists support individuals and families following failures in medical care, helping them secure the answers, compensation, rehabilitation and wider support they need.  

Our team has extensive experience across a broad range of complex medical negligence claims, including birth injuries, surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, mental health negligence and fatal claims.

You'll handle cases from start to finish, using your commercial and analytical skills to identify key issues and propose practical solutions for our clients. Whenever possible, you will aim to secure interim payments to facilitate rehabilitation, care packages, and suitable accommodation before claims are concluded. 

Our team is dedicated to improving the quality of life for our clients and works on some truly complex cases. This is an excellent opportunity to join a thriving, supportive, and highly experienced team. 

We're looking for a Solicitor who has a passion for medical negligence work and proven experience working on high value multi track cases. You will ideally have the following:
