It reflects the many years I\u2019ve spent supporting individuals and families who have experienced life-changing outcomes due to medical mistakes.<\/p>\n \u201cThis area of law requires both technical expertise and a human approach, and I always aim to provide clear, compassionate advice that helps people feel heard, understood and properly supported through what is often an incredibly difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n To qualify for the accreditation, solicitors must be independently assessed by clinical negligence specialists, provide evidence of their casework across a range of issues, and meet the Law Society\u2019s high professional and ethical standards.<\/p>\n Each application is carefully reviewed by independent assessors, which ensures that only those with proven expertise are accredited.<\/p>\n Gemma Bielby, head of operations for the Injury Practice Area at Simpson Millar, added: \u201cKate is a hugely skilled solicitor and a compassionate advocate for her clients. This recognition is a testament to her hard work and her commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for individuals and families during what is often the most challenging period of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n Simpson Millar\u2019s experienced Clinical Negligence team represents clients nationwide, securing millions of pounds in compensation each year for people who have been harmed as a result of medical negligence.<\/p>\n Related: Simpson Millar celebrates 2025 promotions with new partner and senior appointments<\/a><\/p>\n
