DAC Beachcroft LLP

DAC Beachcroft LLP’s clinical negligence defence team in the North stands out for its work with NHS Trusts, NHS Resolution, and defending medical malpractice claims for insurers. The team also handles group actions and benefits from the strength of a nationally integrated practice. Co-heads Gillian Muir and Mark Ashley bring complementary expertise. Muir’s earlier claimant experience informs her work on maximum severity injury claims, including birth trauma and amputations, while Ashley focuses on complex, high-value matters for NHS Resolution and the Medical Defence Union. Katharine Taylor adds further strength with a strong background in defending claims involving obstetrics, oncology, and neurological injuries.
