This childbirth injury solicitors website has been created by Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP to showcase the specialist legal services we offer to mothers and families who have suffered as a result of clinical negligence in relation to childbirth. We are a long established firm of solicitors with a strong track record of serving clients nationwide and recovering compensation for them.
AvMA panel members
Our team is led by Oliver Thorne who has been appointed to the AvMA Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel. AvMA (Action Against Medical Accidents) is an independent patient safety charity and being a member of its panel is a quality mark for specialist clinical negligence lawyers and a byword for excellence.
Legal 500 recommended
We are recommended by The Legal 500 for our work in the field of clinical negligence. The Legal 500 is an independent guide to the legal profession that is based on extensive independent research of the legal sector. Its website attracts more than 4 million visits each year. In the 2024 edition the work of childbirth injury solicitor Caroline Webber-Brown was highlighted, particularly with regard to obstetric and gynaecological claims, stating:
“Caroline Webber Brown is noted for her experience in matters pertaining to laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy and birth injuries.”
Caroline said that it was a real honour to be personally named in the publication, commenting:
“I have a passion for the work that I do and gain a tremendous level of satisfaction from helping victims of medical errors achieve justice. The work that I do in the area of childbirth negligence is particularly rewarding.”
Independently ranked as one of the top medical negligence solicitors
We have also been ranked as one of the top clinical negligence solicitors in the UK by the independent legal review platform, ReviewSolicitors.*
The ReviewSolicitors website not only rates firms on reviews collected in the last 12 months, but also takes into account accreditations, experience and the size of the firm, along with notable cases handled, and Legal Ombudsman records.
The review site was set up with the aim of creating a fair and transparent community for clients to leave reviews about the solicitors they had dealt with. According to the company over 4.5 million people use their site each year. The independent body which oversees the regulation of lawyers in England and Wales, the Legal Services Board, encourages the use of review platforms within the legal sector and wants solicitors to embrace the review culture.
Accredited by the Law Society
We are also Lexcel accredited. Lexcel is the Law Society’s quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and excellence in legal client care.
