Overview
With an expert team of healthcare lawyers, international capabilities, and a further network of lawyers across the globe, we have unrivalled expertise and experience that our clients can tap in to. Our team provides commercial, pragmatic advice to help resolve complex issues and meet your needs.
Our expertise covers all legal issues in health and social care, whether you require support on clinical and corporate governance, handling criminal prosecutions, inquests or judicial reviews.
We are unmatched global experts in defending medical malpractice claims, working closely with NHS Resolution, independent healthcare providers, insurers, brokers and other indemnifiers including the UK's largest Medical Defence Organisation. We resolve and advise on claims of all sizes, clinical disciplines and complexities, ranging from multi-million-pound liabilities to intricate, smaller value cases.
We advise clients on public inquiries, CQC registration, compliance and defending enforcement action. We are skilled at dissecting reports and their challenges, and offer strategic regulatory counsel to senior leadership.
We work with health and social care providers seeking to acquire other businesses, outsource services, enter into leases or licences, or deal with complex HR issues. We have a team of specialist healthcare lawyers that support investors on regulatory due diligence projects specific to the sector.
Leveraging our unparalleled expertise, we manage reputational risks and offer insightful counsel.
