The team has secured in excess of £40m worth of compensation for families in south Wales, Lancashire and Cheshire in the past 12 months alone, and has been ranked in Tier 3 in the annual legal directory, side by side with substantially larger specialist practices in the region.

Commenting on the ranking, Diane Rostron said: “We are delighted to be recognised once again in this highly competitive category. We have a small team of specialists representing families who have suffered a catastrophic birth injury. Despite the challenges we have all faced during the pandemic, we have continued to work hard to secure justice for clients across the country.

“This is a welcome accolade recognising our commitment to client service and we are particularly proud to be ranked alongside significantly larger specialist clinical negligence teams in the North West.”
