Treatment

Our Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence teams have created a compelling channel for lawyers which will provide news, insights, and some personality to complex legal cases.

Our podcasts convey thought leadership throughout our episodes, share insights, and simplify and discuss implications of key cases in personal injury and clinical negligence law. We also aim to save solicitors some time in summarising and explaining developments.
