The Opportunity

We are looking to appoint an experienced medical negligence solicitor (two years+ post qualifying experience), or Legal Executive with equivalent experience, to join our Medical Negligence & Inquests team at our Norwich office.

We are an AvMA accredited, Legal 500 Top Tier recommended claimant medical negligence department, seeking an enthusiastic team player looking for their next challenge.

You will be an empathetic and caring lawyer who will deliver quality specialist advice across all types of medical negligence work.

You will have a genuine passion for this area of law and the ability to work independently, whilst being able to supervise, support and mentor junior members of the team.

• Business Development – You will assist the team with the development of professional relationships with old and new service providers and potential referrers of work. This will include attendance at occasional networking events.
• Supervision – Depending on your experience, you may be required to help supervise and develop more junior members of staff, including apprentices and trainee solicitors.
