CL Medilaw, part of Knights, like to do things differently. The “CL” in our name stands for “Changing Lives”: it’s what we do; it’s how we do it; and it’s how we remember why we do it. We are driven by putting our clients first, and committed to giving back to local and national charities, who support our clients and their families through the most challenging circumstances, when they have suffered medical negligence or serious injury. CL Medilaw represents clients across the UK. We are recognised experts acting for clients who have suffered clinical negligence or serious injury including birth injury, brain injury, amputation, spinal injury, delayed cancer diagnosis and fatal injuries. We provide a holistic service to our clients with our involvement often including deputyship and trusts, and education and welfare benefits advice alongside compensation claims. The level of expertise in our team is recognised by accreditations from The Law Society, AvMA, APIL and the Brain Injury Group. The success of CL Medilaw is derived from our clear purpose with a one-team and client focused approach to our cases and the business as a whole.
