Work Department
Medical Negligence
Position
Principal lawyer Julia Reynolds manages the catastrophic injury clinical negligence team in Wales. Based in Cardiff, her team consists of seven skilled practitioners including two principal lawyers (partner equivalent), a senior associate, two qualified solicitors, and two paralegals.
With a particular interest in obstetric cases and those involving paediatric brain damage, Julia has carved out a niche practice. Her busy case load predominately centres around paediatric brain damage arising from cerebral palsy, a delay in diagnosis, and negligent treatment cases. She also handles spinal cord injuries, amputations, and fatalities.
A very experienced senior litigator, she is used to carrying a heavy case load alongside managing a large, dedicated and caring team. Renowned for her determination, Julia is not afraid to take on difficult cases and fight for justice on behalf of her clients and is regularly sought out with direct approaches from prospective clients, wishing to retain her services.
A bright, thoughtful, and empathetic lawyer that works hard to serve her clients, she has a wide network of contacts in the market that help to ensure that her clients get the very best advice and care.
In addition to her management duties and case work, Julia is very active in the local community. She lectures to the local university law students about entering the profession, supports junior members of the team and encourages them to develop relationships within the market. She is a member of the Cardiff and District Law Society Council and has a particular interest in supporting charities in her sector working regularly with charities that support children with cerebral palsy, children with acquired brain injuries and adults with acquired brain injuries
