  • ‘Elizabeth Larner is unparalleled in the client care that she gives. From first instructing Wollens on a very complex clinical negligence case, Elizabeth has been exceptional in the service that she has performed and has dealt with me in a most caring and thoughtful manner. She has been more I than I could have ever have wished for in a solicitor taking on my claim.'

  • 'Elizabeth Larner runs an incredibly tight ship where the client is at the centre of everything.'
  • 'Working in the field of clinical negligence is not just a job to Elizabeth Larner, it is a vocation and a passion. Elizabeth Larner is the beating heart of Wollens' clinical negligence team.’

  • ‘Close knit team that delivers great client service, nothing is too much trouble for the team, whether that be explaining in detail how best to move forward, or answering menial questions I have. They use a wide variety of experts to assist with moving a claim forward, but the team as a whole, from assistants to paralegals to solicitors and partners, work incredibly hard behind the scenes before a claim gets underway.'

  • ‘Once I had had my first conversation with Hannah Goodman I knew I had made the right decision. Hannah is a highly organised person who has been ahead of every issue or next step the entire time. She shows incredible empathy for grieving families and does her utmost to smooth the edges of the often very blunt reports that the NHS provides. She has walked alongside me the entire time and made sure that I am fully informed at every point along the way - I couldn’t have completed this process without her help and support.’

They are personable and empathetic, with client care that is second to none. They deal with matters quickly and efficiently.
