Russell-Cooke LLP

Russell-Cooke LLP’s claimant clinical negligence team handles a broad range of high-value and sensitive claims, from catastrophic birth injuries and wrongful birth, to maternal trauma, spinal damage, and delayed cancer diagnoses. Janice Gardner brings decades of expertise in brain and spinal injury claims, while Dominic Fairclough leads the inquest offering and regularly acts as advocate in complex coronial proceedings. Lucy Lawson and Sarah Towler run high-stakes cases involving cancer and surgical negligence, and Bernadette McGhie, drawing on her experience as a paediatric nurse, leads the brain injury practice. The team is particularly active in maternity-related claims and has recently been appointed to the Birth Trauma Association’s Trusted Legal Partner panel.
