Led by John Kyriacou, Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP’s London clinical negligence team is recognised for its depth of expertise in high-value, complex claims, including cerebral palsy, spinal and brain injuries, amputation, and delayed diagnosis matters. The team is particularly noted for its work on behalf of the Police Federation, managing catastrophic injury cases with specialist knowledge of police-specific loss calculations. Kyriacou continues to supervise a broad range of high-quantum litigation, while Rosie Nelson and Lyndsey Skibinski handle cerebral palsy and spinal injury claims, and Rosa Shand contributes to cases involving cardiac negligence, birth injury, and complex consent issues.
