UK insurance leader Irwin Mitchell launched in Cardiff in mid-2022; the firm's clinical negligence offering in South Wales is led by Julie Lewis, who splits her time between Cardiff and Bristol. The 'supportive, empathetic and patient' team has significant expertise in handling matters across the full spectrum of medical injuries, in particular birth and neonatal injuries, neurological injuries of the spine and brain as well as complex fatalities. Other key members of the wider team - which is able to draw on 'invaluable' support from the firm's extensive network of UK bases - include Rhian Hooton, who is praised as an 'outstanding individual', and the 'attentive, responsive' Eleri Davies.
