Clinical Negligence - North Eastern (Bar)

Band 2
Individual Editorial

Leila Benyounes' expertise in inquests and inquiries feeds into her strong clinical negligence practice. Her work covers obstetric and birth injury cases, delayed treatment and diagnosis and surgical negligence.

Strengths

It is excellent to have Leila supporting a case. She has a forensic mind and provides excellent advice.

Leila was instructed on a complex clinical negligence matter. She is extremely thorough, helpful and has placed the client at ease at all times.

I've instructed Leila on a very sensitive case. She has guided the client through some difficult issues; she's firm but sensitive to client's emotions and rigorous in her analysis.

She has a gentle manner with the client and is able to get to the heart of the issues with experts. I have been impressed with the way that she has dealt with such difficult cases.
