London Clinical Negligence

Auriana Griffiths

Auriana Griffiths

I am a Partner specialising in Medical Negligence. I predominantly focus on obstetric cases resulting in brain injuries arising from asphyxia or hypoglycaemia. My work also covers a range of other areas including paediatric brain injury, Erb’s palsy, wrongful birth, maternal injuries and spinal injury. I have been Head of the London Medical Negligence department since January 2021. I sit on the Medical Negligence Executive Board as well as IM’s Risk Forum and Technical Strategy Group.

Anne Kavanagh

I am a partner who specialises in representing women and children injured through pregnancy, obstetric, or gynaecological treatment as part of my broader clinical negligence caseload. No one can turn back the clock but provided we can prove treatment was negligent, we can at least provide some financial security for the future and if possible in the process of the investigation, provide answers about what went wrong. I was awarded the Law Society Solicitor of the Year Award 2021 for my work in this area and I am ranked in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners guides.

Deals

  • Recovered just shy of £31m for a child who sustained a brain injury at the time of her birth.
  • Recovered £30m on behalf of a child who sustained a brain injury as a result of the failure to follow a specific plan for the management of the pregnancy, which led to premature birth and extraordinarily burdensome behavioural problems, which required investigation, suitable compensation and rehabilitation.
