Your Role
and What You'll Be Doing
You’ll provide quality legal advice to the firm’s clients under appropriate supervision and training, managing your own high quality caseload from the outset. Your aim will be to obtain interim payments wherever possible, so that we can put rehabilitation, a care package and suitable accommodation in place before the claim is concluded. As a team, we are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our clients.
You will join Partner Guy Forster, head of Medical Negligence who has specialised in clinical negligence cases since qualifying as a solicitor and acts on behalf of clients who've suffered serious injury. Guy recovers substantial amounts of compensation for his clients to fund care, therapies and other needs.
