Our client, home to one of Scotland’s foremost litigation teams, is seeking a Senior Associate to join its expanding healthcare litigation team in Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Job Description

The team supports major insurers, healthcare professionals, public bodies, and charities, specialising in litigation and regulatory work. It also handles disciplinary hearings and public inquiries, drawing on expertise from a strong national and international network.

The successful candidate will manage a varied caseload comprising clinical negligence and abuse-related claims. Experience in personal injury litigation is preferred. While experience in clinical negligence or abuse claims is beneficial, it is not essential. The role offers the opportunity to take a leading position in a challenging, developing area of law.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage a caseload of clinical negligence and abuse claims.
  • Maintain regular and effective communication with clients.
  • Handle complex legal issues and contribute to the development of this specialist practice area.
  • Ensure compliance with service level agreements and reporting requirements.
  • Work collaboratively within a high-performing, supportive team structure.

The ideal candidate will be a qualified solicitor with 6+ years’ PQE, though applications from strong candidates outside this guide level will be considered. They should bring solid litigation experience, demonstrate resilience in fast-paced environments, and show enthusiasm for tackling complex legal issues. Strong communication skills and a commitment to delivering an excellent client service are essential.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, supportive team where flexibility, modern working practices, and collaboration are central.

If this position could be of interest, please contact Teddie or Cameron for a confidential initial discussion. (Assignment 18142)
