Job description

Your Role

You’ll join Partner Tim Annett’s Group Actions Team, which is part of the Medical Negligence Department based in Sheffield. The team’s focus is on group actions especially cases arising from medical negligence, and they also deal with product liability claims relating to drugs, medical devices, and consumer goods.

We have the resources to manage even the largest cases, but we remain focused on our clients and their individual needs.” – Tim Annett

You’ll play a key role in managing your own caseload while supporting senior colleagues on high-profile, high-value litigation. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of medical negligence and product liability law, contributing to landmark cases that deliver life-changing outcomes for clients.

You’ll be part of a team that handles some of the most complex and sensitive litigation in the UK. Recent case examples include:

  • Claims involving paediatric and spinal surgery at major NHS hospitals across the UK
  • Group actions relating to defective medical devices, including knee replacements, pelvic mesh, and cochlear implants
  • Claims involving contaminated blood and human growth hormone
  • Representing family core participants at the Thirlwall Inquiry, arising from criminal conduct by Lucy Letby
  • Aviation disaster litigation involving international jurisdictions

You’ll also:

  • Provide clear, empathetic legal advice to clients from the outset
  • Manage your own caseload of individual medical negligence and group action claims
  • Assist on large-scale, high-profile litigation alongside experienced partners
  • Seek interim payments to support client rehabilitation and care needs
  • Collaborate with experts, counsel, and other stakeholders to build strong cases
  • Contribute to the team’s strategic development and knowledge sharing
About You
  • 3-5yrs PQE with a Medical Negligence background
  • Some experience of group actions and/or product liability would be an advantage but is not a pre-requisite
  • Highly organised
  • Commercial awareness
  • Ability to work collaboratively and independently
  • Ability to work in a pressurised environment

If this sounds like you, we’d love to receive your application.

Our Benefits - What We Can Offer You
  • 25 days holidays as standard plus bank holidays - You can ‘buy’ up to 35hrs of extra holiday too.
  • Generous and flexible pension schemes.
  • Volunteering days – Two days of volunteering every year for a cause of your choice (fully paid)
  • Westfield Health membership, offering refunds on medical services alongside our Aviva Digital GP services.

We also offer a wide range of well-being initiatives to encourage positive mental health both in and out of the workplace and to make sure you’re fully supported. This includes our Flexible by Choice programme which gives our colleagues more choice over a hybrid way of working subject to role, team and client requirements.

We have been ranked in the Best Workplaces for Wellbeing for Large Organisations for 2024!

Our responsible business programmes are fundamental to who we are and our purpose. We’re committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace where our colleagues can flourish, and we have established a number of inclusion network groups across our business to support this aim.

Our commitment to Social Responsibility, community investment activity and tackling climate change is a fundamental part of who we are. It’s made up of four strands: Our People, Our Community, Our Environment and Our Pro Bono.
