Choosing solicitors who are specialists in clinical negligence law is crucial. As AvMA notes, specialist lawyers are far more likely to provide accurate assessments of your case and tailored advice on the best way forward. When you instruct us, you can be confident that your claim is handled by experienced professionals.
We are recommended by The Legal 500 and Chambers legal directories. We have also been ranked as the best clinical negligence solicitors in the UK by the independent legal review website, ReviewSolicitors*.
We understand that discussing sensitive medical issues can be daunting. That’s why our lawyers provide compassionate, caring advice and personalised support throughout your claim.
We collaborate closely with the UK’s top medical negligence barristers and maintain strong relationships with leading medical experts, rehabilitation specialists, and financial advisors.
Our commitment to exceptional client care is reflected in our Lexcel accreditation, the Law Society’s standard for excellence in legal services.
You don’t need to take our word for it—read client reviews on ReviewSolicitors for first-hand feedback.
Most of the medical negligence claims we deal with are funded under our popular No Win, No Fee scheme, which is underwritten by a major clinical negligence insurer. This means if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be liable for any legal fees or costs.
We can also cover the expenses incurred during a claim, including court fees and medical reports.
