Slater and Gordon

Slater and Gordon's practice is well-placed to represent claimants in the entire remit of complex clinical negligence cases. In Manchester, Victoria Beel has a specialism in maximum severity birth injury matters, as well as noteworthy experience supporting families through high-profile inquests and inquiries. ‘Superstar’ Rosalyn Steeple is another name to note at the same office, as is catastrophic injury specialist Helen Lewis. Liverpool-based Helen Barry has expertise in cases whereby obstetric negligence has led to brain injury, and in cases of delayed treatment and diagnosis. With experience in handling cases from complex birth injuries to fatal misdiagnoses, Ben Gent heads up the team from Manchester alongside national team lead Emma Doughty, who is based in London. Former co-lead John Doyle departed in January 2025.
