Your Role

The team’s focus is on group actions especially cases arising from medical negligence, and they also deal with product liability claims relating to drugs, medical devices, and consumer goods.
“ We have the resources to manage even the largest cases, but we remain focused on our clients and their individual needs. ” – Tim Annett
