Not only does our team of experienced lawyers assist our clients with litigation but we also advise on a variety of legal matters before and after litigation such as instigation and handling of complaints, serious incident reports, risk management and reputation management following adverse incidents.

Having handled individual cases as well as high profile, national claims, such as following the Savile Inquiry, we have considerable experience in this highly sensitive and specialised area. We understand the unique nature and the key legal issues involved and work with you to make sure you’re fully prepared for all possible outcomes.

Good governance and risk management is important in any organisation. We are well versed in addressing the challenges presented in the healthcare setting advising on clinical risk and governance to Boards at major teaching hospitals down to owner of individual clinics.

Our guidance and advice supports you through the entire inquest and regulatory processes. We work with you to minimise risk and ensure you’re properly prepared.

By their very nature, clinical trials involve an element of risk that needs to be managed. Through Lloyds underwriters we act for a number of the top UK universities and pharmaceutical companies. We’re regularly asked to consider no fault compensation schemes as well as handling cases brought as negligence claims.

Our specialists advise on claims against organisations and individuals in all areas of healthcare, acting on behalf of healthcare organisations, and individuals through their insurers to defend claims made against them and/ or their practices.

Our insurance and healthcare experience enables us to provide wide-ranging policy services. We understand not only the importance of wordings being sufficiently clear but also the commercial relationships between insurers and their insureds and how they can be affected by policy decisions.
