Healthcare Inquests Solicitor (Re train)

This is a rare opportunity for a senior solicitor to retrain into healthcare inquests and court of protection work at a leading Top 100 national firm in Manchester.

If you're a senior solicitor looking to specialise in a high-impact area, this is a unique opportunity. Senior retraining roles are uncommon, and here you can move into a Tier 1 healthcare inquests team, work on nationally significant cases, and immediately put your advocacy skills to use.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Represent NHS clients at inquests, gaining courtroom experience and lead advocacy on complex matters
• Guide Court of Protection decisions influencing outcomes for people in challenging care situations
• Advise healthcare and social care providers and help shape legal and regulatory strategy on sensitive issues
• Take ownership of complex care decisions through Court of Protection work, developing experience in mental capacity law

Experience relating to Court of Protection, Inquests & Mental Health would be beneficial but we are also happy to consider those from a Personal Injury/Clinical Negligence, Civil Litigation, Regulatory or Public Law background. You will ideally have strong Advocacy experience but full training and senior mentoring are provided.

This is your chance to retrain at a senior level into a specialist healthcare team, take control of complex cases, and gain advocacy experience that sets you apart.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary depending on experience + bonus
• Hybrid working for flexibility and work-life balance
• 25 days annual leave + Christmas closure
• Private health and dental insurance
• Life assurance (3x salary)
• Opportunity to lead complex cases early in your healthcare law career
