Described by The Lawyer Top 100 as having a ‘stealth-like command of the healthcare sector’ our specialist teams work across the sector from the NHS Trusts, ICBs and GPs to dentists, private health and care homes.
We advise the healthcare sector day-in, day-out on all their legal needs from clinical risk management, inquests and employment to safeguarding, PFI and estates, with everything in between.
