Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Avinder Sidhu combines tenacity with pragmatism to deliver excellent results for the client. We have worked together on several cases under the NHSR early resolution scheme where she demonstrated exceptional skill in sifting through masses of detail to identify and address the key point at which the care went wrong. She also has long experience in bringing difficult catastrophic quantum cases to a sensible settlement.
‘Christopher Malla and Katie Tonks are stand-out partners. They are approachable, experienced litigators who are also commercially minded.’
