Clinical Negligence Solicitor (Group Litigation)

Role: Clinical Negligence Solicitor (Group Litigation) Location: Nottingham, Nottinghamshire Salary: £50,000 - £55,000 Contract: Full time, permanent, hybrid

A leading national law firm with a strong claimant focus is continuing to grow its specialist Clinical Negligence Group Litigation team in Nottingham. This is a standout opportunity for a junior solicitor to step into complex, high-value multi-claimant work at an early stage in their career.

The team is known for handling some of the most complex group action and large-scale clinical negligence claims in the market, combining strong technical expertise with a supportive and structured environment.

You’ll be joining a team where junior lawyers are genuinely exposed to meaningful casework early on, with clear supervision and progression routes.

What you’ll be doing

Rather than a standard single-case caseload, your work will focus on supporting and progressing linked and group litigation claims, often involving significant volumes of evidence and expert input.

• Working on multi-claimant clinical negligence and group action cases
• Reviewing medical records and assisting with evidential analysis
• Drafting legal documents including correspondence, witness statements, and court materials
• Supporting the instruction of medical experts and counsel
• Helping coordinate evidence across multiple claims within the same litigation group
• Liaising with clients, ensuring clear and sensitive communication throughout
• Assisting senior lawyers with case strategy and settlement preparation

You’ll be part of a close-knit team where you’ll learn quickly and gradually take on more responsibility as your experience grows.

What they’re looking for

This role would suit a solicitor who is:

• Recently qualified up to around 2 years PQE
• Experienced in clinical negligence or personal injury work (claimant or defendant background considered)
• Comfortable working with detailed, document-heavy casework
• Highly organised with strong analytical skills
• Confident communicating with clients and external parties
• Interested in developing a long‑term career in claimant clinical negligence and group litigation

Package & working arrangement

• Annual bonus scheme (individual and firm-wide)
• Hybrid working – 2 days per week in the Nottingham office (Wednesdays required in‑office)
• 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Holiday buy/sell scheme
• Enhanced pension
• Private healthcare
• Additional wellbeing and volunteering days
• Retail and leisure discounts

Why this role stands out

This role offers early exposure to highly complex group litigation work within clinical negligence, rather than a traditional single-file caseload. You’ll be working on matters that involve multiple claimants, significant volumes of medical evidence, and coordinated litigation strategy from the outset.

It’s an excellent opportunity for a junior solicitor who wants to move beyond general personal injury or clinical negligence work and start building specialist expertise in large‑scale claimant litigation, with strong supervision and a clear development pathway.
