Job Description
Clinical Negligence Associate | Bristol ️ | High-Value Birth Injury Work
There comes a point in a claimant clinical negligence career where you’ve proven the technical ability, but you’re still not getting the level of exposure you’re ready for.
This role changes that.
A leading Top 100 firm in Bristol is looking to appoint a Clinical Negligence Associate (c.4+ PQE) to work closely with a Partner on high-value, complex birth injury cases, alongside a broader mixed caseload including dental and other serious clinical negligence matters.
This is not a background support role. You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, meaningful client contact, and active involvement in strategy, risk, and case direction.
What makes this role stand out:
High-value, complex claimant work (birth injury focus)
Direct Partner exposure from day one
Genuine client responsibility and autonomy
Opportunity to build your own profile in the market
Support to mentor junior lawyers and develop leadership skills
Clear progression pathway in a strong, growing team
What they’re looking for:
* 4+ PQE Clinical Negligence Solicitor
* Experience in complex or high-value claimant matters (ideally birth injury)
* Confident managing clients and driving cases forward
* Commercially aware, organised, and ready for more responsibility
This is a well-structured, established firm with a strong South West, Thames Valley and London presence, offering stability, quality work, and a genuinely supportive platform to progress.
