Judith Thomas-Whittingham, partner and head of the Clinical Negligence department at Stephensons, said: “This year has been outstanding for the Clinical Negligence department. We have been – and continue to be - extremely busy and have recruited new solicitors to meet the demand for our services.
“Our highly skilled team always strives to obtain the best possible settlements for our clients, since often the compensation must cater for lifelong treatment or care.”
Stephensons’ Clinical Negligence department is one of the largest in the region, acting for clients not just in the North West but also nationwide. The team is recommended in the latest editions of both the Legal 500 and Chambers UK, industry guides to the legal profession, while managing partner of Clinical Negligence, Louise Griffiths is also recognised as a leader in this field of law.
