Shoosmiths LLP

Medical Negligence and Personal Injury Team

Partner

Louise is the Head of the Medical Negligence and Personal Injury Team and has worked in this area of law for over 20 years.

As a specialist in medical  negligence, Louise has represented many children with birth injury claims, where she has recovered compensation, which will assist them and their families in securing appropriate support, potentially for the rest of their lives.

Louise also has significant experience representing clients at inquests.  Families can find having to attend an inquest (following the death of a loved one) an extremely difficult and upsetting procedure: her purpose is to help clients to understand the procedure and alleviate pressure on families.

She is a member of both the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel, the AvMA (Action for Victims of Medical Accidents) Panel and the Society of Clinical Negligence Lawyers. Her membership of the specialist panels recognises her experience and confirms her expertise in representing clients with clinical negligence claims.

Louise has lived and worked in Northamptonshire for the majority of her life and is involved in her local community as a governor at a primary school.
