Dean Wilson LLP is a leading law firm specialising in Personal and Medical Injury claims. We pride ourselves on providing expert legal advice and support to clients who have experienced injury or harm due to medical malpractice. Our team is dedicated to achieving justice and securing the best possible outcomes for our clients, all while offering a supportive and inclusive environment for our staff.

We are currently seeking a motivated and ambitious Newly Qualified (NQ) Solicitor to join our Personal and Medical Injury team. This is an exciting opportunity for a solicitor to become an integral part of the Dean Wilson team, a leading law firm located in Brighton and Hove. You will be responsible for running your own caseload and reporting to the leads in the team.

The ongoing training and support provided, together with the opportunity to work alongside leaders in their field, will make this a good career move for the successful candidate. You will have the opportunity to expand your legal knowledge in this area and develop, gaining invaluable experience.

You will work on a claimant-only caseload of high value and complex claims on behalf of a Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners ranked team. The caseload will be predominantly personal injury and clinical negligence, but there will also be an element of inquest work and Human Rights Act claims. You will be assisting partners and senior fee earners with their caseload, whilst also managing your own caseload of smaller matters. You will also be expected to assist the firm with marketing projects and provide mentoring to more junior members of the team.

Essential Skills and Experience:

Newly Qualified Solicitor with a valid practising certificate (or due to qualify soon).

Some previous personal injury or clinical negligence experience is essential.

The role is hybrid but candidates must live in the South-East as travel to clients in their homes or hospital will be required.

Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

Strong attention to detail and ability to manage a varied caseload.

A client-focused attitude and a desire to make a difference in clients' lives.

Ability to work effectively as part of a team while also demonstrating initiative and independence when required.

We offer competitive pay and benefits and reward excellence and performance. We believe in promoting a healthy work-life balance to support your well-being, presenting the following benefits:

Competitive annual leave

Private medical cash plan

Life insurance

Company pension

Enhanced maternity and paternity pay

Working hours of 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday
