Clinical Negligence
Nancy Fairbairn
Partner
Head of Department
Nancy took on responsibility for managing the firm’s reputable clinical negligence department in 2006. Nancy brings the perfect skill-set to a highly demanding role: an enquiring mind and the innate ability to relate and empathise with clients. Only with a proven ability in successfully dealing with complex medical and legal issues can a Clinical Negligence lawyer operate and be recognised at the highest levels – in Nancy the firm possesses one such person…she is, quite simply, a brilliant Clinical Negligence lawyer.
The department is now recognised as one which offers the most comprehensive advice and client care in the north of England. The department also has a clinical negligence contract with the Legal Services Commission and are therefore able to act for clients who are eligible for Legal Aid.
Nancy became a partner in 2008.
