Your new firmYou will be working for a renowned Cardiff-based law firm, recognised as one of the UK's leading practices. Within their Clinical Negligence team, you'll help advocate for individuals and families affected by substandard medical care.
Your new roleWe're offering an excellent opportunity for a Clinical Negligence Solicitor to join a highly respected and forward-thinking law firm. This is a fee-earning position focused on new and ongoing matters, where you'll manage a varied caseload of claimant clinical negligence work with minimal supervision and full team support. You'll work closely with individuals who have suffered harm due to medical negligence, guiding them through sensitive and often complex legal processes.
Your responsibilities will include drafting witness statements and pleadings, reviewing medical reports, and liaising with Counsel on high-value and intricate cases. The role also involves attending conferences, maintaining professional standards, and contributing to the team's knowledge base. There is scope to supervise junior fee earners and to take on greater responsibility as you progress.
What you'll need to succeedThis opportunity is suited to a Clinical Negligence Solicitor or Associate with proven experience handling a diverse caseload. The role requires a highly organised and proactive professional with strong time management skills and the ability to thrive under pressure. Exceptional client care is essential, along with a self-driven mindset and the flexibility to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team. A solid understanding of CPR, relevant legal frameworks, and medical issues is essential. The ideal candidate will bring a forward-thinking approach, a positive attitude, and a dedication to delivering outstanding service. While prior experience is valued, applications are encouraged from individuals who demonstrate the key competencies and enthusiasm to succeed in a dynamic and supportive environment.
What you'll get in return This is a meaningful opportunity to join a values-led UK law firm with a strong social purpose and a commitment to making a difference. You'll be part of a team that embraces challenge and is driven by a bold, forward-thinking culture.
In return, you'll benefit from flexible working arrangements, a healthy work-life balance, and a supportive, collaborative environment that encourages growth and development. Based in Cardiff on a hybrid basis, this is more than just a job-it's a chance to contribute to something bigger.
