Clinical Negligence Associate | Bristol ⚖️ | High-Value Birth Injury Work

There comes a point in a claimant clinical negligence career where you’ve proven the technical ability, but you’re still not getting the level of exposure you’re ready for.

This role changes that.

A leading Top 100 firm in Bristol is looking to appoint a Clinical Negligence Associate (c.4+ PQE) to work closely with a Partner on high-value, complex birth injury cases, alongside a broader mixed caseload including dental and other serious clinical negligence matters.

This is not a background support role. You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, meaningful client contact, and active involvement in strategy, risk, and case direction.

What makes this role stand out:

✨ High-value, complex claimant work (birth injury focus)

✨ Direct Partner exposure from day one

✨ Genuine client responsibility and autonomy

✨ Opportunity to build your own profile in the market

✨ Support to mentor junior lawyers and develop leadership skills

✨ Clear progression pathway in a strong, growing team

What they’re looking for:

• 4+ PQE Clinical Negligence Solicitor
• Experience in complex or high-value claimant matters (ideally birth injury)
• Confident managing clients and driving cases forward
• Commercially aware, organised, and ready for more responsibility

This is a well-structured, established firm with a strong South West, Thames Valley and London presence, offering stability, quality work, and a genuinely supportive platform to progress.
