Chambers & Partners state that Fieldfisher's medical negligence team has a "formidable reputation" frequently undertaking 'the most complex claims in the practice area'. The team has recovered over £27 million in compensation for our clients in the fields of obstetric negligence, delayed diagnosis, surgical negligence and birth injury. Chambers praise the team for their conduct, which is noted as being "excellent: very personable and professional, experienced and compassionate", continuing that "client care has always been a priority".
The head of the medical negligence department, Paul McNeil, is again singled out as a "stellar individual" who is regarded as "one of the first lawyers you would go to for a complex maximum-severity clinical negligence claim, or would recommend to a family member." They state that Paul has an excellent relationship with his clients and is "compassionate, but at all times 110% professional".
Partner Sam Critchley is described as one of the "rising stars" in the sector with more than a decade of experience.
