Fieldfisher's Medical Negligence team has won the Insurance Firm of the Year prize at the Legal 500 Awards.
The Legal 500 Awards are unique in the industry as they recognise each element of the legal profession equally – law firms, in-house legal professionals and chambers, and prizes are awarded based on the opinions of the 250,000 in-house lawyers who are contacted throughout the year by the Legal 500 UK research team.
Fieldfisher won the Insurance prize based on its clinical negligence (claimant) expertise, beating Hogan Lovells, CMS Cameron McKenna, Leigh Day, Mayer Brown, Arnold & Porter, Bolt Burdon Kemp, Bond Dickinson and Covington & Burling to the award.
Paul McNeil, partner and head of Medical Negligence and Personal Injury, said: "We are of course delighted to win this award – which is deserved recognition for everyone in a team which fights for clients who have suffered as a result of medical negligence, ensuring they receive not only financial compensation but the knowledge that their futures are secured after life changing injuries."
The awards will be presented at a ceremony on 10th November.
