The Yorkshire law firm, Ison Harrison, is making significant advancements in its clinical negligence division. Recently, the firm welcomed two acclaimed professionals, Lucy Wells and Will Clark, enhancing its already formidable team. The addition of these experts underscores the firm’s continuous drive to expand its capabilities and better serve its clients’ needs.
Lucy Wells, joining as a Partner, brings more than a decade of experience in dealing with an array of medical negligence cases. Her expertise spans across sensitive health issues such as delayed diagnosis of cancer, HIV, DVT, pulmonary embolism, and cardiac claims. Known for her dedication to clients experiencing traumatic birthing outcomes, Wells assists with inquests and investigations following ectopic pregnancies, stillbirths, or infant loss. Additionally, she has supported numerous patients in seeking redress against ‘rogue surgeons’ who conducted unwarranted surgeries.
Will Clark, a new addition to the clinical negligence team as a solicitor, is set to handle a range of cases including inappropriate dental treatments, erroneous cosmetic surgery, and delayed fracture diagnoses. Clark’s involvement in community initiatives, exemplified by his fundraising efforts for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, complements his professional pursuits.
Ison Harrison’s transformation into a 100% employee-owned firm in early 2022 has catalysed its growth, resulting in over 20,000 client engagements and an increasingly wide-reaching presence. The latest opening of a Doncaster office marks the firm’s 18th branch, reinforcing its foothold in Yorkshire and commitment to accessible legal services.
The firm’s clinical negligence division is also strengthening bonds with long-standing charity partners like The Erb’s Palsy Group, which offers vital support to families grappling with Erb’s Palsy. As the only law firm in Northern England recommended by the group, Ison Harrison maintains a prominent role in supporting this community through specialist legal expertise.
James Thompson, the head of the clinical negligence team, noted the firm’s commitment to securing top legal talent. He believes that expanding their expert team with professionals like Lucy and Will enhances their capacity to deliver high-quality, empathetic legal services at a timely pace. Ison Harrison’s strong reputation for combining legal acumen with sensitivity to clients’ emotional challenges is expected to be further solidified by these appointments.
These strategic developments underscore Ison Harrison’s dedication to advancing its legal practice and supporting its community.
