Clinical Negligence Solicitor

Leeds City Centre (flexible across Yorkshire locations)
Full-time | Claimant work only

A well-established and highly regarded Yorkshire-based law firm is looking to recruit a Clinical Negligence Solicitor (2-6 PQE) due to continued organic growth.

The role is primarily based in Leeds City Centre, however candidates seeking flexibility to work from alternative regional offices across Yorkshire will also be considered.

The Firm
This firm has a strong regional presence with multiple offices across Yorkshire and a national reputation for high-quality legal services.

It is employee owned, offering staff the opportunity to influence the future direction of the business and benefit from a tax-free profit-sharing scheme. The culture is friendly, supportive and collaborative, with a clear focus on recognising and rewarding strong performance.

The Team
The Clinical Negligence team is an award-winning claimant department with a strong reputation in the market.

You will be joining a well-established team of experienced practitioners who provide excellent supervision, training and ongoing support. This is a genuinely collaborative environment where development is encouraged and individuals are given a voice.

The Role
The firm is seeking a Clinical Negligence Solicitor with 2-6 years’ PQE to join its claimant team.

You will manage your own claimant clinical negligence caseload from initial instruction through to conclusion. All matters are multi-track, with caseloads dictated by complexity (typically under 40 files). Paralegal and secretarial support is provided, and you will assist colleagues as required.

Work is largely referral-based, resulting in a mix of high-value, complex claims and more straightforward matters. The firm is selective about the cases it accepts.

Candidate Profile
You will have experience running a claimant clinical negligence caseload, either exclusively or predominantly.

You will demonstrate strong client care skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage deadlines effectively. You will be technically competent, commercially aware and committed to delivering high-quality work.

APIL Litigator or Senior Litigator accreditation is desirable, depending on experience.
