    Weightmans is a top 40 ranked law firm and we are seeking an Inquest solicitor to join our expanding Regulatory Healthcare Advisory team. The Regulatory Healthcare Advisory team is very diverse, offering a broad range of expert advice to organisations and individuals in relation to health-based regulatory matters and proceedings. We have an enviable client base, from NHS Trusts to private healthcare providers and cover inquests, Court of Protection applications, Mental Health Tribunals and other regulatory challenges; including advising on and defending prosecutions by Care Quality Commission and providing advice on a wide range of other health and care issues such as consent and confidentiality, capacity and best interests and discharge processes. As well as an enviable case load, Weightmans offer expert advice in affiliated matters - such as funding and employment issues which allows for collaborative working across the firm., The role will primarily focus on managing a caseload of inquest files for our various NHS clients, care homes and other organisations, and possibly some of the broader healthcare advisory work. The role is mainly based in the Midlands, working out of our state of the art office in Birmingham City Centre but some travel nationally may be required. With our diverse offering, there may be both the scope and need for our lawyers to be involved in work for clients outside of their core caseload.
