The Bristol-based offering functions as a cohesive part of Thompsons Solicitors LLP national serious injury and clinical negligence unit; cases relating to surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries form the core workload of the group. A key niche specialism is mesh-related claims, in which area the team is seen by clients as having ‘deep knowledge and understanding’. Seasoned specialist Sabeena Pirooz is the key contact following the departure of Madeleine Pinschof in 2024.
