About us
Our dedicated team of specialist Child Brain Injury solicitors have extensive experience and a proven track record of representing children who have sustained catastrophic brain injury as a result of mistakes made by maternity healthcare professionals during pregnancy, labour, or around the time of birth. To complement this, our Women’s Health specialist solicitors support women who have been affected by injuries sustained during pregnancy and traumatic childbirth.
We are proud of the life-changing settlements we’ve achieved for our clients over the years, including securing one of the highest ever clinical negligence awards in a complex birth injury claim of approximately £33 million.
We are caring and compassionate professionals committed to providing a holistic and high-quality service to our clients and their families. From the very beginning, we offer practical guidance, reassurance and support so that you can focus on caring for your child.
With our niche experience in this area, we understand the complex and evolving needs of premature babies and children who have suffered brain injury at birth. We are proud to have been chosen by Bliss as one of its trusted legal partners.
How we can help
We offer a national service and are always happy to meet you at a time and place that works best for you, including in the comfort of your own home. We are both accessible and responsive and can meet and speak with you at a time that is convenient to you, even if that is outside normal working hours or at the weekend.
During our first meeting, we will take the time to listen and understand what has happened and the impact it has had on you and your family. We will explain how we can help and what we can achieve for your child through making a compensation claim. We will also clarify how bringing a claim can be funded and answer any questions you may have about the process. There is no cost for this meeting, and no obligation to proceed - we will always move at a pace that feels right for you.
From the very beginning, and throughout your legal journey, we aim to provide:
- Practical support through our Early Support Service, helping to ease immediate pressures relating to issues such as finances, housing, employment or immigration status where needed.
- Advice and guidance to help ensure your child’s educational needs are met, including assistance in securing an appropriate Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
- Clear, transparent and honest legal advice, keeping you informed and properly advised at every stage. For more information, you can read more about what to expect from working with us and our approach.
We will also seek interim payments of compensation from the defendant as early as possible to fund vital specialist care, rehabilitation and therapies, equipment and accommodation. Our goal is to secure the compensation your child needs to achieve their full potential, to flourish and to enjoy life. Just as importantly, we aim to give you peace of mind that your child’s future is secure and that funds will always be available to meet their complex and evolving needs, both now and in the long-term.
Maternity and Newborn Safety Investigations (MNSI)
We support families through the MNSI process while carefully exploring whether their child may have a legal claim arising from the maternity care they received. We understand how important it is to feel supported during this time, and our team is here to guide you with sensitivity, experience and clear advice. Our aim is to help you feel informed and empowered throughout the process. For more information about the MNSI process, read our blog.

We offer a free legal clinic for parents who have been referred to the NHS Early Notification Scheme (ENS). For more information, please visit our webpage. If you would like to book an appointment, you can contact us at [email protected].
