At Bliss, our priority is to support families with clear and compassionate information. We understand that sometimes families with a baby born premature or sick may wish to seek legal advice, and to help with this, Bliss has put together a panel of trusted law firms with experience of working with families on neonatal cases. You are welcome to make direct contact via the email or telephone number provided for a free initial conversation.

Bliss' Legal Panel

CL Medilaw

We are specialist maternity, birth and neonatal injury solicitors supporting families when they need us.  We are a leading national team advocating for the rights of families with sick and premature babies including babies who have a HIE or PVL injury.  With offices across the length and breadth of England and Wales, we have a birth injury specialist close to you, making our team easily accessible, or we can visit your family at home.

With many years’ experience helping families receiving neonatal care, we achieve outcomes where other firms fail and have a proven track record of successful second opinion cases.  We can guide you through a Hospital or Maternity and Newborn Safety Investigation (MNSI formerly HSIB) and support you through NHS Resolution’s Early Notification Scheme (ENS).  We also provide support with maternal injury claims. We are a different type of law firm, committed to putting clients first. We are dedicated to “changing lives” so much so that we have included it in our name - it’s what the ‘CL’ stands for in CL Medilaw.

Moore Barlow

We are proud to partner with Bliss, supporting the vital work they do for families with premature or sick babies. At Moore Barlow, we have extensive expertise in medical negligence claims, particularly those involving complications during pregnancy, labour, and neonatal care.

Pregnancy and childbirth should be times of joy, but when mistakes are made by doctors, midwives or other healthcare professionals, the consequences can be devastating for both mother and baby. From delays in recognising maternal or fetal distress, to errors in antenatal monitoring, labour management or neonatal treatment, our role is to help families understand what went wrong and to secure the compensation and support they deserve.
