Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'Diane Rostron pays the closest of attention to detail, exudes energetic determination and displays natural empathy for her clients. She has established excellent and longstanding professional relationships with highly experienced barristers and a team of expert witnesses who are clearly instructed, and respect, as well as challenge, each others opinions.'
- 'A small, friendly and very effective team that will often pick up and succeed with claimants cases that have failed to be progressed by other solicitors. Very clear communication and the streamlining of early progression to a preliminary conference facilitates early understanding of the potential direction of cases.'
Work highlights
Represented the parents at the inquest of their daughter where the coroner found that the hospital treating the three year old when she suddenly became unwell had failed to scrutinise her illness before discharging her three months before her death.
