RWK Goodman’s London clinical negligence practice is co-led by Ben Lees, who focuses on complex claims involving limb loss and spinal injury, including cauda equina syndrome, and Simon Elliman. The team continues to expand its presence in the capital, with Divya Anand a notable name for maternal injury, sepsis, and misdiagnosis claims. The practice maintains particular strength in amputation work, backed by Lees’ leadership of the firm’s national amputations group. The team’s broader capabilities span birth injury, inquests, and specialist dental negligence cases, with increasing traction in cardiothoracic and weight loss surgery claims.
