Overview
We stand out for our skill and genuine expertise in working with organisations across the health and social care sector. Our sector specialists work across the broad expanse of health and social care, whether public or private health providers, government, or MedTech operators.
We understand the critical nature of patient/service user, employee, and public trust and provide expert advice on all areas of information governance, from day to day compliance queries to major regional and international strategic projects. We advise on complex information-sharing frameworks, politically sensitive data breach claims, and enforcement action.
Our expertise extends to advising on health sector-specific issues such as confidentiality, freedom of information and access to health record requests.
Our data protection specialists offer practical and pragmatic advice, distilling complex legal issues into accessible commercial advice that empowers you to maximise your use of data and manage complex risks.

Clinical Risk and Medical Malpractice
We understand the challenges that arise in the healthcare sector when patient expectations are not met, and we also recognise that cost pressures in the sector and on medical malpractice indemnifiers have never been so acute.
As the provision of healthcare fragments away from its traditional delivery models, more and more claims activity will affect commercial entities, private clinics, hospitals, general healthcare providers – and their insurers.
