Career

I act exclusively on behalf of claimants and deal with a wide range of complex medical negligence cases. My particular interests are surgical, neurological, orthopaedic and obstetric cases, particularly those involving fertility issues. I have also successfully concluded a number of neonatal death and delayed diagnosis of cancer cases.

I am very experienced in working on maximum severity claims, including cerebral palsy and brain injury cases. My focus is always to secure early admissions of liability and interim payments to help clients rebuild their lives as quickly as possible.

I regularly comment on high-profile cases where it can generate change and prevent similar tragedies occurring. I am a former Young Achiever of the Year at the 2011 Personal Injury Awards, and was nominated as an Inspirational Woman of the Year (Under 35 Lawyer of the Year category) at the Inspirational Women in Law Awards in 2019.

I am a regular guest speaker at medico-legal conferences and am involved with several mentoring initiatives to support young lawyers. I am also a Trustee for Fertility Network UK, the country’s leading patient focused fertility charity.

Iona Meeres-Young heads up the team at Fieldfisher, which is noted for its ‘excellent service from the very start of a litigation journey all the way until the end’. In addition to representing claimants in various maternal and birth injury cases, the team is well versed in psychiatric claims, involving psychosis and self-harm, along with other medical issues, such as gastrointestinal, amputation and cancer misdiagnosis litigation. Samantha Critchley and Paul McNeil are both key ports of call for catastrophic birth injuries, holding over 20 years of experience in medical negligence claims involving children’s brain injuries, along with traumatic deliveries and neurosurgery. Mark Bowman – ‘extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and professional’ – handles claims requiring expertise in surgical errors, delays in diagnosis and amputations. Jane Weakley is especially active in obstetrics litigation, while Jonathan Zimmern regularly advises on cancer, orthopedic and delayed diagnosis disputes. Kate Rohde deals with spinal injuries along with birth negligence, while Ian Christian advises on neonatal and multiparty claims. Other key figures include Arti Shah and Shivi Nathan, both of whom specialise in obstetric cases, along with cancer, stillbirth and neurological negligence litigation.
