Description
DAC Beachcroft is looking to recruit a Paralegal to join our Clinical Risk team.
This role presents an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and passionate individual to join an award-winning, progressive, and highly specialised team.
Our Clinical Risk cluster is the biggest nationally, handling a challenging but fulfilling caseload of defendant clinical negligence work, acting for a variety of clients, which may include work for NHS Resolution, NHS Trusts, MDU, independent providers, and medical malpractice insurers.
Key Responsibilities
- Assisting the team on interesting and varied work consisting of pre-lit and litigated defendant clinical negligence claims on behalf of NHS Resolution and NHS Trusts. This will involve a wide range of task-based work, including instructing experts and counsel, liaising with witnesses, arranging conferences, drafting documents, undertaking research, and dealing with disclosure issues. There will also be opportunities to attend conferences and hearings with counsel.
- Adhering closely to client protocol and process, using our bespoke case management system.
- Making an appropriate contribution to non-fee-earning activity, e.g., knowledge sharing, training, client seminars, and business development.
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.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- Previous clinical negligence experience would be highly desirable but is not essential.
- We will also consider candidates with limited experience but who have strong academic qualifications, are practical and enthusiastic, and who have a strong sense of team and a desire to learn.
- An ability to understand and work through complex issues.
- A demonstrable ability to adopt a commercial perspective rather than an ‘academic’ approach to legal issues and to be highly client-focused.
- Ability to deal confidently and professionally with clients on day-to-day issues, building up strong relationships.
