Legal 500 2027 recognises the expertise of our medical accident lawyers, publishing a series of glowing testimonials.

Choosing a solicitor to pursue a medical negligence claim is one of the most important decisions you can make. When searching for a clinical negligence lawyer, people naturally want reassurance that they are instructing a team with recognised expertise, a strong track record, and a reputation for delivering excellent client care.

That is why we are delighted that the work of our medical accident lawyers has once again been recognised by the Legal 500, one of the UK’s leading independent legal directories, sometimes referred to as the Michelin guide for the law.

Our recognition in the Legal 500 follows on from our inclusion in the 2027 Chambers UK guide.

The testimonials below were independently collated by the Legal 500 research team as part of its 2027 assessment of specialist law firms and individual lawyers.

A Recognised Team of Clinical Negligence Specialists

The Legal 500’s independent research highlighted the quality of our clinical negligence team and the service we provide to clients who have suffered avoidable injury as a result of medical treatment.

The directory states:

“The team handles the full spectrum of clinical negligence work to an exceptionally high standard, delivers a first-class service and client care, and is approachable at every turn.”

Another testimonial praises the team’s commitment to clients:

“The entire team is friendly, approachable, and working tirelessly on behalf of all clients. They maintain high standards of professionalism and integrity in all dealings with clients.”

The Legal 500 also recognises our collaborative approach:

“A friendly, supportive, and client-focused service that always has time for its clients and works collaboratively with counsel.”

For people searching for a medical negligence solicitor, these comments provide independent confirmation of our commitment to client care, communication and achieving the best possible outcomes.

Expertise in Medical Negligence and Medical Accident Claims

Our team of medical accident lawyers advises clients on a wide range of medical negligence claims, including:

  • Delay in diagnosis claims;
  • Cancer misdiagnosis claims;
  • Surgical negligence claims;
  • Birth injury claims;
  • Hospital negligence claims;
  • GP negligence claims;
  • Catastrophic injury claims;
  • Mesh litigation;
  • Gynaecological negligence claims.

The Legal 500 specifically highlights our expertise in complex and specialist areas of medical negligence work.

Recognition for Caroline Webber-Brown

The Legal 500 2027 gives special recognition to Caroline Webber-Brown, naming her as a ‘Next Generation Partner’, an accolade reserved for partners attracting significant recognition from clients and peers in the market and key roles on multiple matters. She is described as:

“Fantastic. She is diligent, professional, friendly, and supportive, and always does her very best and goes the extra mile for her clients.”

The directory also notes her specialist expertise:

“Caroline Webber-Brown has particular expertise in complex mesh litigation and gynecological negligence. She brings particular expertise in this area and is often praised for expertly navigating the litigation process.”

For clients pursuing complex claims involving vaginal mesh injuries or gynaecological negligence, this independent recognition reflects the specialist knowledge and experience that Caroline brings to these challenging cases.

Recognition for Clarissa Ellerington

The Legal 500 also highlights the contribution of Clarissa Ellerington:

“Clarissa Ellerington is a key part of the clinical negligence team, showing dedication and commitment to clients, advocating for their rights and ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.”

Medical negligence claims can often take years to resolve and frequently arise following life-changing injuries. The ability to provide consistent support and determined representation throughout that process is critically important.

What Clients Value Most

One theme running through the Legal 500 testimonials is the importance of communication, responsiveness and client-focused advice.

The directory states:

“A key strength of the practice is its ability to deliver a consistently high standard of work while maintaining a genuinely client-focused approach. Communication is clear, timely, and constructive, which provides reassurance not only to clients but also to all professionals involved in the process.”

This feedback reflects our commitment to ensuring that clients understand the progress of their case and receive realistic, practical advice at every stage.

Compassionate Support For Our Clients

Medical negligence claims are about far more than compensation alone.

Many clients come to us following traumatic experiences involving serious injury, avoidable harm or the loss of a loved one. They need lawyers who combine legal expertise with empathy, understanding and determination.

The Legal 500’s independent researchers noted exactly those qualities in our team:

“Brilliant team from senior to junior – very knowledgeable in clinical negligence, kind and compassionate towards their clients. Excellent teamwork-based approach to get the best results for their clients.”

What our clients say about us

We have over 1,600 reviews and an overall five-star rating on the independent legal review website, ReviewSolicitors.

Here is just a short selection of some of the reviews that our clients have left for our clinical negligence team:

  • Maddy Lawrence

    “With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”
  • Great firm!

    “I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a solicitor!”
  • Excellent solicitor

    “I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.”
  • Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.

    “Oliver assisted me in the aftermath of my father’s sudden death in hospital. He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.”
  • Exceptional Service

    “I have received expert advice throughout my case, the attention to detail is second to none. Their professional outlook and relatability means that I always recommend the firm. When I was unclear of any information or possible outcomes they took the time to speak with me on a personal level, confirming our conversation through email, I feel supported and understood and most of all they are empathetic, something that is often missing from large firms.”
  • Thank you

    “On behalf of all of us, we would like to thank you for your guidance, professionalism, humanity and kindness you have shown us all throughout this process. You have explained everything to us in clear and concise terms throughout and we are extremely grateful. We would have no hesitation recommending you and using your services in future. Thank you.”
  • Mesh claim

    “I cannot thank the team enough there understanding and empathy and the knowledge is outstanding. Caroline has been supportive every step of the way, she has informed me and kept me updated how the claim has progressed she has also had great understanding around my mental health and the physical damage I have occurred. I cannot thank the team enough. The team made this experience easier for me to deal with my emotional distress and pain.”
  • Compassionate, thorough, and outstanding legal support thus far

    ”Jade was incredibly friendly, taking the time to ask all the right questions and thoroughly investigate our case. Unlike previous solicitors, who dismissed us, Jade and the team at Slee Blackwell delved deeper and gave us renewed hope. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism in fighting for us. I would recommend Slee Blackwell to anyone in need of legal assistance.”
