Working from its Richmond base, Moore Barlow fields a London team that brings together strong claimant-side expertise with deep medical insight, particularly through the contributions of dual-qualified practitioners. The group handles an array of complex, high-value claims, with a focus on spinal cord injury, birth trauma, neurological damage, and infectious disease litigation. Sarah Stanton leads the practice, drawing on her former defendant experience to guide cases involving cerebral palsy and cauda equina syndrome. Anne Cassidy, previously a doctor, is noted for her work in brain injuries resulting from delayed diagnosis and infection. Mala Sidebottom, a qualified anaesthetist, adds further weight in wrongful birth and encephalitis claims. The practice is complemented by Amie Ketteridge-Lowe and Hayley Lewis, both involved in some of the department’s most intricate litigation. The team’s work is underscored by a longstanding interest in patient safety, charitable engagement, and a collaborative, multi-disciplinary structure.
