Our Medical Negligence & Inquests team is recommended as Top Tier in the Legal 500 UK and recognised for being “always professional but also very approachable“. Head of department, David Gabell, is recognised as a ‘Next Generation Partner’.
We are proud to be an AvMA accredited claimant medical negligence department, who are committed to delivering exceptional legal advice and compassionate support to our clients, and are seeking an enthusiastic team player looking for their next challenge.

This is a varied and rewarding role that requires excellent organisational skills, a proactive approach and a genuine commitment to providing outstanding client care.
Main responsibilities:
- Provide proactive PA and administrative support to solicitors and fee earners within the Medical Negligence & Inquests team.
- Manage diaries, appointments, meetings and travel arrangements where required.
