This firm houses "a team full of experienced people who understand
the intricacies of clinical negligence law," report clients.
The group continues to win new clients, who are drawn in by the
strength of the lawyers and their ability to handle high-value complex
claims - such expertise was recently demonstrated in a birth injury
case resulting in a £5.8 million settlement. Alongside its
work in obstetric-related matters, the firm has built a fearsome
reputation handling everything from misdiagnosis and delay in treatment
to spinal and general surgery disputes.
Department head Richard Vallance is widely admired for his "understated
but effective style." He is vastly experienced across the whole
spectrum of clinical negligence work, and divides his time between
managing the team and fee earning. Stephanie Code stands at the
helm of some of the firm's most significant work. She has dealt
with many complex cases, including a recent claim arising from the
delayed diagnosis of Cushing's disease.
Richard Vallance and Stephanie Code are both ranked as leading
individuals.
