Clinical Negligence Solicitor – Leeds
I am partnering with a nationally recognised The Legal 500 ranked firm to recruit a Grade A Clinical Negligence Solicitor for its Leeds office.
This is a rare and stand-out opportunity for an experienced Clinical Negligence lawyer to take a strategic lead role in establishing and growing a Clinical Negligence presence in Leeds, supported by a highly successful national team.
The Firm:
This is a well-established national firm with multiple offices across the UK and a strong reputation in Clinical Negligence and Healthcare Law. While several of its offices already boast thriving and highly regarded Clinical Negligence teams, the Leeds office presents a unique growth opportunity.
The firm is now seeking a senior-level Clinical Negligence Solicitor to spearhead and develop the offering in Leeds, with full backing from an experienced national department, established infrastructure and a recognised brand.
You will benefit from:
* The credibility and referral network of a nationally recognised team
* Existing expertise, supervision and collaboration from other offices
* Genuine autonomy to shape and grow a local practice
* A leadership team committed to long-term strategic investment
The Role:
This is not simply a caseload management position; it is a career-defining opportunity to build and develop a team in Leeds as part of a wider national Clinical Negligence practice.
You will:
* Manage a complex, high-value caseload of Clinical Negligence matters
* Bring extensive experience in birth injury and obstetric claims (essential)
* Play a key role in developing the firm's Clinical Negligence profile in Leeds
* Support business development initiatives and build local referrer relationships
* Contribute to recruitment and future team growth
* Collaborate with established Clinical Negligence teams across other offices
The caseload will include:
* High-value birth injury and cerebral palsy claims
* Obstetric negligence matters
* Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis cases
* Surgical errors and serious treatment failures
About You:
* Grade A Solicitor/Senior Associate with extensive Clinical Negligence experience
* Strong track record handling complex and high-value birth injury claims
* Experience supervising or mentoring junior lawyers
* Commercial awareness and business development interest
* Ambition to play a key role in growing a regional offering
* Excellent client care and technical ability
This role will suit a senior Clinical Negligence lawyer who is ready to step into a more strategic and visible position – without the immediate pressures of Partnership, but with genuine scope to shape and influence a growing office.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
* Rare opportunity to build and grow a Clinical Negligence team in Leeds
* Backed by an established and successful national department
* Legal 500 recognised firm with strong brand and referral network
* High-quality, high-value work
* Hybrid and flexible working
* Clear long-term progression prospects
If you are a senior Clinical Negligence Solicitor seeking a role where you can combine complex litigation with genuine strategic influence, this is an opportunity well worth exploring.
