Job Description:
Clinical Negligence Solicitor – Minimum 2 years PQE. We are open to applications from Chartered Legal Executives and experienced Clinical Negligence Litigators.
An opportunity to help grow an established department.
Rochdale | Hybrid & Flexible Working | Competitive Salary + Performance Bonus
Are you an experienced Clinical Negligence Solicitor looking for more than simply inheriting another caseload?
At ASL Solicitors, we are looking for an experienced Clinical Negligence lawyer who wants the autonomy to run quality cases, work directly with the firm's senior management, and play a significant role in the future development of our Clinical Negligence practice.
This is not a cold-start role and it is not a high-volume fee-earning position. We already have an established Clinical Negligence practice, an existing caseload ready to inherit, and a regular flow of new enquiries. Our work includes a variety of cases from more straightforward matters through to complex, high-value litigation.
We are now looking for the right person to help us take the department to its next stage.
The Opportunity
You will take ownership of an established Claimant Clinical Negligence caseload and have the autonomy expected of an experienced lawyer.
Your work will include:
- Delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis claims
- Surgical negligence
- Hospital and GP negligence
- Some Dental negligence
- Treatment and medication errors
- Complex and high-value claims
- Multi-track Cases
You will manage cases from initial assessment through investigation, expert evidence, Letter of Claim, negotiations, litigation, and settlement or trial.
You will have access to administrative support and will work directly with the firm's senior management, without unnecessary layers of management or bureaucracy.
More Than a Caseload
What makes this opportunity different is the scope of the role. We are not simply looking for somebody to maintain an existing caseload. We want a driven lawyer who can help us take the department to the next stage.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Depending upon your experience and ambition, you will have the opportunity to contribute to:
- The strategic development of the Clinical Negligence department
- Case selection and supervision of new enquiries
- Developing systems and best practice
- Training and mentoring junior team members
- Building relationships with experts, counsel, and other professionals
- Developing new sources of work
- Recruitment as the department grows
- The longer-term direction of the practice
For the right individual, there is genuine scope to develop into a departmental leadership role and beyond as the practice continues to grow.
What ASL Offers
- An established caseload from day one
- You will not be expected to build a caseload from scratch.
- Regular new enquiries
- The firm already has established enquiry and case-allocation processes.
- Quality over volume
- We are interested in properly progressing good cases, not creating an unrealistic high-volume environment.
- Real autonomy
- We are looking for an experienced lawyer whom we can trust to take ownership of their work. Full support will be provided.
- Direct access to decision-makers
- You will work closely with the firm's senior management, allowing decisions to be made quickly.
- Hybrid and flexible working
- We recognize that experienced lawyers value flexibility and trust.
- Competitive remuneration and performance bonus
- We are prepared to offer a strong package to secure the right individual, with the opportunity to benefit financially from exceptional performance and departmental growth.
- A genuine opportunity to progress
- As the department develops, we want the successful candidate to develop with it.
Who Are We Looking For?
You may currently be a Senior Solicitor, Associate, Legal Executive, or experienced Clinical Negligence Litigator who feels ready for greater responsibility.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You should ideally have:
- Strong Claimant Clinical Negligence experience
- The ability to independently manage cases from inception to conclusion
- Experience of litigated and multi-track matters
- Confidence dealing with medical experts, counsel, and complex evidence
- Strong knowledge of liability, causation, and quantum
- Excellent drafting and negotiation skills
- High standards of client care
- Sound commercial judgement
- The confidence to make decisions and take ownership of cases
Most importantly, we are looking for somebody who is ambitious about the department as well as their own caseload.
Why ASL Solicitors?
There are plenty of Clinical Negligence roles where an experienced solicitor can join a large team, inherit a billing target, and become another fee earner within an established structure.
This opportunity is different.
At ASL Solicitors, you will have an existing platform to work from, but also the freedom to influence what comes next.
You will have:
- An existing caseload.
- New work coming into the department.
- Direct access to senior management.
- Autonomy over your cases.
- Support to do the job properly.
- And the opportunity to help build the department around you.
If you are an experienced Clinical Negligence lawyer who feels you have reached the point where you want greater autonomy, recognition, and influence over the direction of a practice, we would particularly like to speak to you.
Interested?
We recognize that many of the strongest candidates will not be actively looking for a new role.
For that reason, informal and completely confidential discussions are welcomed before any formal application.
Contact ASL Solicitors for a confidential conversation about the role.
Benefits:
- Free parking
- On-site parking
