We will also consider a strong NQ with a previous seat in any litigation area. \n \n Why this one \n \n\n • Specialise early, in a field where deep technical knowledge is genuinely valued and hard to replicate\n, • Court and tribunal exposure from the start, inquests, fitness to practise hearings and litigation, not just paperwork\n, • A Tier 1, independently recognised practice with a reputation that carries weight in both the legal and medical professions\n, • Complex, high-stakes cases with real client contact\n, • Cross-jurisdictional work across NI and Ireland\n, • Structured supervision and clear progression in a team that has been building this expertise for decades\n, • Hybrid working and a competitive package\n\n \n The team \n \n One of the largest and most established healthcare teams on the island of Ireland, and the go-to practice for defence and regulatory work in the sector. The team acts for medical defence organisations, malpractice insurers, private clinics, health and social care providers and care home operators, as well as individual practitioners across medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy and optometry. The work spans both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. \n \n The work \n \n A varied contentious and advisory caseload, with responsibility built up as you develop: \n \n\n • Defending clinical negligence and medical malpractice claims for insurers, defence organisations and practitioners\n, • Fitness to practise proceedings before the GMC, GDC, NMC and the equivalent regulators in Ireland, plus regulatory appeals and PSA references\n, • Regulatory enforcement and registration matters, including RQIA action\n, • Inquests, public inquiries and disciplinary investigations by Trusts or commissioning bodies\n, • Serious incident investigations, complaints handling and Ombudsman referrals\n, • Information governance, data protection, confidentiality, FOI and subject access requests\n, • Policy reviews and medico-legal training for clients\n\n \n Expect early exposure to hearings and inquests, close work with medical experts, and direct contact with clinician and insurer clients under proper supervision. \n \n About you \n \n Strong NQs are actively encouraged to apply. A seat in any area of litigation is enough, clinical negligence, personal injury, insurance, commercial, employment, regulatory, public law or general disputes. Healthcare experience is genuinely not required. What matters is: \n \n\n • Qualified, or due to qualify, up to around 3 years' PQE (NI or ROI qualified)\n, • Some grounding in contentious work from a training seat or early PQE role\n, • An appetite to specialise properly rather than stay a generalist, this is a technical, evidence-heavy area where expertise compounds year on year\n, • Previous experience of managing busy caseloads and strong organisational skills\n, • Excellent communication skills and able to work effectively with clients\n, • High levels of attention to detail and good legal drafting skills\n\n \n Interested, or just curious? \n \n All conversations are confidential and you don't need a CV to start. Happy to share the full spec and salary guidance so you can make an informed decision. \n \n Lindsey McCracken, Founder & Director, Conekt Legal \n lindsey@conektlegal.com | +44 7852 332587

Corporate and Commercial Associate | 2 to 5 years PQE | Fully remote (UK) This is not a conventional Corporate Commercial Associate role and represents a superb opportunity to develop coveted specialist expertise. The work sits at the point where international tax strategy becomes legal reality: designing and implementing the corporate structures, intercompany agreements, and group reorganisations that multinational businesses rely on to stay compliant and transaction ready. If you have enjoyed the corporate work you have done so far and want to develop a genuine niche beyond general transactional support - this could be for you! The Role You will run your own workstreams on international projects for multinational groups headquartered across the UK, Europe, North America and APAC. That means drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements; designing and implementing intercompany agreement frameworks; advising on the legal aspects of cross border structures and group reorganisations; and preparing board minutes, written resolutions and the wider corporate governance documentation that sits behind them. Alongside the above you will support corporate simplification projects, debt restructurings and M&A transactions, including due diligence and implementation. Interaction with stakeholders is a key aspect of the role. You will therefore be trusted to lead on calls, speak to clients directly and liaise with their accountants, tax advisers and transfer pricing specialists. Notably, full training is provided in their specialist areas and the firm will ensure your role is commensurate with PQE. Role Requirements The ideal candidate will be qualified in England and Wales with 2 to 5 years PQE in corporate, commercial or a transactional practice. You will have strong contract drafting and negotiation skills alongside a solid grounding in company law and corporate governance, including experience preparing resolutions and board documentation. The perfect candidate will be comfortable running matters with real autonomy, whilst asking the right questions along the way. Beyond excellent legal grounding, precision will be key. This work rewards lawyers who notice the detail others skim past, who write clearly, and who can hold several moving parts in their head without losing track. Why this rare opportunity is worth a conversation • The team is a recognised international leader in its field, and you will be joining a positive and collaborative boutique firm., • You get client contact from the start and real responsibility for delivery., • Progression is available and visible., • The projects are technically demanding and international by default, and you will be collaborating with advisers from several disciplines rather than operating in a legal silo., • Salary is competitive, with private health insurance, income protection and life insurance. Please reach out to discuss this varied and rewarding opportunity in more detail.
