She is frequently instructed in high-profile cases and provides strategic advice on reputational issues, brand protection and risk management. Louise regularly provides legal training to client teams.

East Anglia > Insurance > Personal injury and clinical negligence: defendant
(Leading individuals)The Ipswich office of Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP
plays a key role in the firm’s national corporate claims practice, which acts directly for clients rather than through insurer panels. The practice is led by senior partner Nicola Lashmar, who focuses on crisis management and the resolution of high-value and sensitive injury claims; she has an impressive roster of clients, among them Johnson Controls, the Civil Aviation Authority, Thames Water and GSK. Lashmar recently defended Norfolk County Council against a claim brought by the wife of a deceased motorcyclist, who blamed a negligently resurfaced road for the accident. Louise Bland, legal director Paul Coppin, and principal associate Wayne Donovan also play pivotal roles in the practice.
