Philippa Luscombe > Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP > Guildford, England > Lawyer Profile

Catastrophic injury cases, with emphasis on those involving severe birth brain injuries and conditions including cerebral palsy, alongside adult brain injury, and fatal cases make up the heavy-duty caseload at Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP. The practice is co-led in Basingstoke by ‘highly accomplished’ Alison Appelboam-Meadows – her expertise lies in obstetric and neonatal negligence, including cerebral palsy, alongside catastrophic injury cases. Co-leader Philippa Luscombe  works out of Guildford, with her practice emphasising birth injury cases and claims on behalf of parents who sustain psychiatric injury relating to traumatic birth claims.

Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP‘s core workstream in the personal injury space covers catastrophic, multiple and fatal injuries but the team also offers other niche areas of expertise across product liability, elderly care and cosmetic treatment claims, as well as cases that overlap both personal injury and clinical negligence. Guildford-based Philippa Luscombe heads the practice and specialises in high value brain injury and fatal accident cases.
