Clinical Risk Job Introduction
DAC Beachcroft are seeking a 0-8+PQE Solicitor/Associate to join our Leeds office. 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. We pride ourselves on our supportive, approachable culture. We are trusted, appreciated as individuals, and embraced as part of a team. At DAC Beachcroft, we don’t just accept your differences, we celebrate them. Our strength comes from your diverse ideas and bringing the ‘whole you’ to work. Main Responsibilities
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. Drafting legal documents, conducting face-to-face negotiations and mediation of claims, preparing cases for and adhering to court deadlines. Engaging in direct client care, acting as first and primary contact for clients on a day-to-day basis, providing them with commercially focused legal advice, and adhering to their protocols and processes. Making an appropriate contribution to non-fee-earning activity, including participation in knowledge sharing, training, client seminars, writing articles for publication, and business development. The Ideal Candidate
A 0-8+PQE Solicitor/Associate with experience in clinical negligence, personal injury, civil litigation, or insurance law. Experience of an NHS Resolution or MDO panel firm would be desirable but is not essential. Strong technical and organisational skills to ensure a pragmatic and methodical approach to handling a variety of clinical negligence claims simultaneously. A demonstrable ability to adopt a commercial perspective rather than an ‘academic' approach to legal issues and to be highly client-focused. Team-oriented and collegiate with a willingness to mentor, coach and supervise less experienced members of teams. About The Company
We are a leading international legal business with over 2,500 colleagues and a diverse range of capabilities. We have 11 offices in the UK as well as offices in Dublin, Madrid, Paris, Singapore, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Miami. We also have associations/alliances with firms in Malaysia, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Central America, the USA, Australia and Germany. We represent a wide range of clients, ranging from household names to government departments and NHS bodies. We act for all of the UK’s top-ten insurers, and we are market leaders in the provision of strategic, commercial and regulatory advice to providers and commissioners in the health sector. We have an impressive legal pedigree, with 142 Chambers UK 2021 practice area and individual lawyer rankings. Our successes have been recognised by the legal industry and the markets in which we operate. At DAC Beachcroft, we don’t just accept your differences, we celebrate them. We welcome direct applications and are happy to talk flexible working. We are a Disability Confident employer and guarantee to interview anyone with a disability, long term health condition or neurodiversity whose application meets the essential criteria for the role.
