It’s an exciting time to join Fieldfisher in Belfast!
Our Belfast office is experiencing significant growth as we expand our presence and strengthen our business across the region. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a dynamic team during a period of rapid development and innovation. We’re building something special here driven by ambition, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence. If you’re looking for a role where you can make an impact and grow with us, now is the perfect time to come on board.
The Role
The personal injury and medical negligence department consists of top-performing lawyers with a reputation as leaders in their field. We differ from the firm's corporate departments in that we speak directly to potential clients who need to know where to find help at an extremely difficult time in their lives. We rely on our reputation to reach people and also by publishing our client's stories (case studies and longer form video) on our website and on social media.

Our content is serious and often sensitive (we ran UK claims for sexual assault against Harvey Weinstein, for example, represented victims of terrorist attack at London Bridge, and currently support families who lost babies because of historic failings at Nottingham hospitals). We always bear in mind that we’re telling personal stories about very difficult events, but they're also incredibly rewarding to get right. We are regularly featured in the press, on television and radio and contribute to documentaries.
