Exciting Job Opportunity: Clinical Negligence Lawyer at Thompsons Solicitors in Manchester!

Are you ready to elevate your career in clinical negligence law? Thompsons Solicitors, a leading firm in the field, is seeking a talented Clinical Negligence Lawyer to join our highly respected North West team. With a flexible hybrid working model, this is your opportunity to be part of a firm that champions justice and values its people.

With a passion for putting the client first and demonstrating excellent client care, our Clinical Negligence Lawyers handle a wide range of multi-track cases ranging from misdiagnoses to complex cases involving brain, spinal, and birth injuries requiring comprehensive rehabilitation packages.

What the role involves...

At Thompsons, you will manage high-quality clinical negligence cases from the initial interview through to settlement, working within a supportive and collaborative team including specialist paralegal support. You will represent both private clients and trade union members. You will retain an appropriate case holding and be responsible for all aspects of running those cases from evidence gathering, instructing counsel, and taking an active role in conferences with counsel and experts, JSMs/ADR, and progressing cases to trial, including split trials where appropriate, in addition to profit costs forecasting and liaising with our in-house costs team on costs recovery.

Who we are looking for...

We are keen to hear from qualified solicitors or legal executives with up-to-date knowledge of the law relating to clinical negligence and the civil litigation process. We are open to exploring opportunities for candidates with all levels of experience within this specialist area.

As well as excellent communication and client care skills, demonstrating an ability to empathise with vulnerable clients is essential. The ability to construct clear and effective arguments, yielding the best results for our clients is also key. We are looking for team players who enjoy engaging in marketing and business development opportunities, together with proven competency and expertise in the field of clinical negligence. For more senior candidates, this may be by accreditation with either the Law Society or AVMA, or other relevant professional memberships.

What we offer you...

We offer more than just a job; we offer growth. Lawyers with less experience will be offered an opportunity to co-work complex cases with senior lawyers. All our lawyers have access to exceptional training opportunities and progression pathways, this role provides the perfect environment for you to thrive and have your expertise and dedication recognised.

For 100 years, leading social justice law firm, Thompsons Solicitors, has been fighting for the rights of the injured and mistreated and changing lives for the better. Since 1921, we have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with trade unions to implement key legal reforms and give a voice to those who might otherwise have been disadvantaged and marginalised.

Thompsons ran:

• the case that established the right for injured workers to be compensated in 1937
• the first asbestos case that was successful in the House of Lords in 1972
• the first equal pay for equal value claim in the UK (1988) and later in Europe (1993)
• the case against UK construction companies for blacklisting union members in 2016
• hundreds of cases on behalf of women who received negligent treatment at the hands of disgraced breast surgeon, Ian Paterson (2017) and on behalf of those injured by mesh (2019).

Today, Thompsons employs 800 staff who work at 18 offices right across the UK. Key areas of legal specialism include: personal injury, serious injury, asbestos diseases, medical negligence, road traffic accidents, accidents at work, industrial diseases, and trade union law. As a point of principle, the firm has never worked for employers or insurers.

Over the last 100 years, we have consistently won the cases that have advanced the law for working people, but, as long as there are employers who put profit before the safety and rights of their workforce, there is always more to do. We continue to expose injustice, holding those responsible to account and campaigning for positive change.

We want to hear from anyone who is keen to progress a legal career with a firm that won’t let up in its quest for fairness.
