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.

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. Day to day, you can expect to be involved in:

• 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.

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

The firm offers a strong mix of flexibility, reward, and long-term development:

• 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

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.
