Our personal injury and clinical negligence team specialises in complex, high-value, partner-led claims where our experience and specialisms can really add value to our clients.  We see ourselves as a boutique team, providing a bespoke service to each client to help them achieve the result they want in a timely fashion.

We act almost exclusively for claimants and have expertise both physical and psychiatric claims. We are flexible in terms of funding and most of our work is on a CFA basis. We maintain a legal aid franchise for our birth injury practice

• Cerebral palsy of the maximum severity due to oxygen deprivation at birth
• Double amputation arising from a failed suicide attempt
• Multiple amputations arising from the failure to diagnose a routine abscess
• Complex RTA claims with catastrophic injuries
• High-profile mental health claims resulting in unlawful killings and the illegality defence.
• High-profile historic child sex abuse claims.
