Join a team of experts and progressive thinkers
Our Health and Care: Resolution team operates across England with four offices (Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds and London), offering advice and assistance to health and social care organisations across a broad range of issues including clinical negligence, medical malpractice and human rights claims, inquests, Court of Protection and public law matters.
We are one of ten firms that act for the NHS Resolution, putting us at the heart of claims and complaints brought against the NHS. Our Clinical Negligence team is highly regarded for their work acting on behalf of NHSR and NHS Trusts and in the defence of clinical negligence cases. In addition, we undertake healthcare and medical malpractice and regulatory work for a range of private insurers and private sector health and social care providers.
The role
We are seeking to recruit clinical negligence/medical malpractice consultants to join our consultant team.
This is an exciting opportunity to work with an excellent client base and experience high-quality work but with flexible hours to suit you. Our consultants are self-employed and work from home with office support. They undertake a mixed portfolio of work on a fixed fee and day rate basis. This is a new way of working for applicants who want to have the flexibility to choose when and how much work they do (depending on client demand).
