My client is a multi-site brand with a strong client base across Yorkshire which supports both private client and commercial service lines. This includes Personal Injury and an attached specialist Clinical Negligence offering both of which are claimant focused and are very busy.
With foreseen changes at the top of the Clinical Negligence team there is now scope to recruit someone who in the short term will become the Team Leader, so the prospects are substantial for someone who wants input into the direction of the firms Clinical Negligence offering, including partnership prospects if that's important to you.
This is a very friendly and collegiate firm so someone who wants to be working with like minded colleagues who have one anothers back will fit in well here.
Working supported by two other team members, it is essential that you are technically confident in a range of complex Clinical Negligence matters as this has been the focus of the teams work to date. The work is flowing, there is a full caseload to pick up on arrival, and the firm has every confidence as to the resilience of this specialist area and its sustainability with their brand. They don't need someone to bring work.
Moving forward you'll be able to evolve the strategy as to the streams of work you'd like to take on, and also as regards recruitment to your unit. The firm and its management board are very much focused on growth, and the Clinical Negligence team is a valued part of that and will receive ongoing support and resources moving forwards.
An exciting and unusual opportunity which is uncontested internally and which will hopefully appeal to an experienced Clinical Negligence lawyer (Solicitor or Legal Executive) who wants to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond and who'll enjoy a high level of autonomy.
Remuneration is up for discussion - the firm knows that it is a competitive market and in first instance would value the opportunity of a discussion be that a full blown interview or something less formal at the outset.
Brooke Thornham Consulting advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the level of experience required for the role and this does not prohibit applications from candidates who are able to demonstrate the necessary skills and experience. We aim to respond to enquiries as soon as possible but if we have not contacted you within 5 days then unfortunately on this occasion your application has not quite met the requirements of our client closely enough.
