Recent Client Feedback:

“Oliver Thorne takes the lead on clinical negligence cases, handling a variety of high-value claims, including in relation to birth injuries, spinal injuries and acquired brain injuries. The group is also instructed in cases arising from cosmetic surgery, vaginal mesh and missed cancer diagnoses.”
“Oliver is extremely personable and approachable [and] is certainly one smart cookie, which instilled confidence in me from the very first.”
“Advised client who suffered a loss of sight in one eye during routine laser eye surgery. A settlement of £350,000 was secured.”
“With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”
“I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly reccomend him if you’re looking for a solicitor! Everyone else I had contact with throughout the firm was also super helpful and professional.”
“Oliver dealt with our case with a sensitive manner. He carefully explained each stage of the process to us and we always felt in safe hands, knowing he would do everything possible to find answers. It has been an incredibly upsetting time for our whole family and we would like to thank Oliver for all his hard work and professionalism throughout this time.”
