Clinical negligence solicitor, Nicola Hamblett, has joined North West law firm Stephensons Solicitors LLP.
Nicola, from Sale, has joined the firm’s leading clinical negligence team based in Wigan. Her new role will involve acting for people who have suffered negligence at the hands of medical professionals, with claims often brought following errors in surgery.
Nicola gained a Law degree at Lancaster University, followed by the Legal Practice Course at the College of Law in London. She then worked in Toronto in Canada before returning to the UK in 2010, to take up a position with Duncan Gibblins Solicitors, overseeing cases in personal injury and clinical negligence.
Nicola said: “Since joining the firm I have been specialising solely in clinical negligence and working among respected and high profile clinical negligence lawyers.
“I chose to progress my career at Stephensons as it has an excellent reputation in the North West for litigation and the teams are ranked in the Legal 500. Several of the partners in the clinical negligence team are highly regarded for their work and I wanted to be a part of that team and to learn from the best.”
Stephensons provides legal advice to clients all over the country and has one of the top clinical negligence team in the UK. The team specialises in all areas of clinical negligence, with particular emphasis on birth injury claims, cerebral palsy claims and misdiagnoses.
