Clinical Negligence Solicitor - NQ - 2 Years PQE | Swansea

We are working with a leading regional law firm in its search for a Clinical Negligence Solicitor to join its highly regarded Medical Negligence team in Swansea. The firm has built a strong reputation for delivering expert legal advice with a client-focused approach and continues to invest in the growth and development of its specialist claimant practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for a newly qualified solicitor or someone with up to two years' PQE looking to establish or further develop a career in clinical negligence. You'll join a supportive and collaborative team, handling your own cases while gaining exposure to complex and high-value claims alongside experienced specialists.

The Role
As a Clinical Negligence Solicitor, you will work with clients who have suffered injury as a result of negligent medical treatment, providing compassionate and practical advice throughout the claims process.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing your own caseload of clinical negligence matters under appropriate supervision
• Assisting senior lawyers on complex and high-value claims
• Liaising with clients, medical experts, counsel and healthcare providers
• Preparing cases for settlement negotiations and court proceedings
• Drafting legal documents, witness statements and correspondence
• Building strong client relationships and delivering an exceptional client experience

The caseload is likely to include a range of claims involving delays in diagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, treatment failures, medication errors and other healthcare-related negligence matters.

Candidate Requirements
Applications are encouraged from solicitors with up to two years' post-qualification experience who can demonstrate a genuine interest in claimant clinical negligence work.
You will ideally have:

• Qualified Solicitor status in England & Wales
• Experience in clinical negligence, personal injury or litigation gained through a training contract, previous role or work placement
• Excellent client care and communication skills
• Strong drafting and analytical abilities
• Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail
• The ability to prioritise a varied workload and manage competing deadlines

This role would suit a newly qualified solicitor with exposure to clinical negligence during training, an early-career clinical negligence lawyer seeking greater responsibility, or a personal injury solicitor looking to specialise in this area.

Why Join?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-regarded and growing clinical negligence team, offering high-quality work, strong mentoring and genuine opportunities for career development.
