Drawing upon 'strength and depth at all levels', from partner through to paralegal, Harding Evans LLP can provide a 'brilliant' and cost-effective service to private and publicly-funded claimants on cases across all levels of severity brought against medical professionals. Team head Ken Thomas is 'well-respected in South Wales', having secured notable settlements and victories for clients over the years in high-profile and complex cases, including with regard to diagnostic delays, birth injury claims and Cauda Equina cases. Emma Scourfield handles a myriad complex brain, amputation, spinal and cerebral palsy cases, often involving multiple expert witnesses, and is widely recognised as 'one of the stand out solicitors for complex high value clinical negligence cases in South Wales'. Lauren Watkins and Sara Uren, who have come up through the ranks at the firm having trained there, are both versatile clinical negligence lawyers, who 'work tirelessly for their clients and always secure a good result'. Senior associate Debra King is a 'tenacious fighter, that leaves no stone unturned' in pursuit of the optimal result for clients, including in cases of negligence at nursing homes and pressure sore cases, as well as gynaecological negligence and Cauda Equina claims. The 'bright and diligent' Settor Tengey re-joined the firm in November 2023, and provides an added perspective gleaned through his most recent work on the defendant side for NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership.
