Barry Speker is an accredited member of the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s Clinical Negligence Panel. This is limited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority to a very small number of solicitors who have demonstrable expertise. Barry regularly lectures to other solicitors, Hospital Trusts and doctors on medical negligence litigation and both he and the firm are recommended in each issue of the Legal 500 and the Chambers and Partners Directory of legal firms as leaders in the field of medical negligence.

In addition, this experienced team includes Helen Routledge, who has a growing reputation for winning complex clinical negligence cases and is herself an accredited member of the Solicitors Regulatory Authority, Clinical negligence Panel.   The department also includes Christina Batson who is a specialist in this field of law.

We hold a legal aid franchise for clinical negligence, one of very few which has been granted in the North East. We also undertake cases on a “no win no fee” basis supported by insurance to avoid risks with regard to costs.

This is a highly specialised area and we are proud to be able to offer an excellent service to clients in the complex and sensitive field of medical negligence.

We can also advise in relation to the handing of complaints arising out of treatment.

Samuel Phillips Law Firm has secured a large number of very high awards and settlements for medical negligence claims and is confident that in this growing area we will continue to be one of the leaders in the UK.

Initial free consultations are offered in order to assess the value of cases and home visits are easily arranged to suit client requirements. Our office also provides free car parking and disabled access.
