Our medical negligence expertise
We understand how devastating it can be if your baby needs to be cared for in the NICU and the impact this can have on you and your family. Whether your baby is there because of concerns during labour or because of prematurity, we recognise that being in the NICU is disorientating and not what anyone imagines for their newborn.
As the largest dedicated medical negligence law firm in the country, we have specialist expertise and decades of experience investigating cases and supporting families where there is a concern about the care provided to their baby. We recognise the mixed emotions involved and are skilled in navigating that challenging emotional landscape with sensitivity.
Across our national team, we’ve secured substantial awards on behalf of our clients to ensure they receive the appropriate support and have financial security for the rest of their lives. We’ve made legal history changing the law on behalf of women and children injured as a result of substandard care.
We’re committed to working towards improved maternity care and patient safety. We have a number of longstanding charity relationships and support campaigns focused on patient and maternity safety. We also regularly deliver talks and training at study days and conferences for healthcare professionals to share practical guidance with the aim of working towards better outcomes for all we have our own dedicated webinar series aimed at professionals, Maternity Matters,
