Your new firm You 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 role We'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.

What you'll need to succeed This 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.

If this job isn't right for you, but you are looking for a new job, please feel free to get in touch for a confidential discussion on your career.

Exclusive to Hays: succession opportunity to take over and develop this quantum/valuation centric offering Your new company A long-established and independent forensic practice, our client is based in London but has an additional "on the ground" presence around the UK. The firm has a well-established history in quantum and investigative specialisms, including: Fraud/CriminalPersonal Injury/Clinical NegligenceMatrimonialCommercial (other forms of quantum/dispute)TaxThe firm's success and fee income so far has been mainly via reputation and with surprisingly little marketing; a strong online presence does help. In addition, they have a very large database of existing and potential clients. They have just recruited a dedicated marketing executive whose focus will be on generating business from their client lists via email marketing and increasing their presence on LinkedIn and the younger partners in the practice are very focused on technology and efficiency. All of this is part of a strategy to power up their growth by 25% in the next 5-6 years. Your new role Partly due to phased retirement but also due to the strategic growth plans mentioned above, a rare opportunity has arisen to lead the key service-line of matrimonial and commercial disputes. The current lead won't fully retire until the new incumbent is settled, so there will be as much handover and "bedding in" as is needed. The role will be to: Maintain and deliver on the existing workflow in matrimonial (it doesn't matter if you've not as yet done this type of work - see below under "what you'll need") Use your existing contacts and those of the firm to develop further commercial disputes, quantum, loss and damages work The firm sees this as a Director - possibly even Salaried Partner role. See reward for how fee growth will be recognised. A full briefing document has been prepared which I am happy to share with any relevantly qualified and interested parties. What you'll need to succeed Work comes in from all around the UK, so you in turn can be based anywhere in the UK. They do try and get together a couple of times a year for social events and would also look to have in-person meetings in London say once every 8-10 weeks. There is the option to have a desk in London but they are also very happy for the new recruit to be home-based. They would of course support them meeting clients for drinks / lunches etc as and when possible. In terms of experience the firm are considering those whose background includes all of the following: A qualified Forensic professional whose expertise lies in quantum, loss and damages, with the associated valuation skills (eg DCF) Experienced to at least seasoned Senior Manager level; more likely to be Director or equivalent A UK-based professional with an emerging or established network of contacts Someone who has authored their own reports, ideally have attended joint statement meetings and be comfortable from an accounting perspective in front of barristers If you've never done matrimonial work this is not an issue as long as you have an appetite to take it on - from a growth perspective you are likely to be focusing more on the commercial disputes practice anyway. What you'll get in return An assured salary, equivalent to Director A leveraged bonus element linked to billings but worth at least another 10% Health cover and pension A properly collaborative firm who are warm and welcoming Work-life balance A hybrid arrangement which can be based anywhere in the UK What you need to do now If you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV, or call us now.
