A well-established and highly regarded Yorkshire-based law firm is looking to recruit a Clinical Negligence Solicitor (2-6 PQE) due to continued organic growth.

The role is primarily based in Leeds City Centre, however candidates seeking flexibility to work from alternative regional offices across Yorkshire will also be considered.

The Firm
