Lauded for its ‘first-rate client care’, the Derby-based practice Smith Partnership is jointly led by David Clark and Martin Bradbury. Labelled as ’vastly experienced’, Clark’s broad caseload encompasses workplace accidents and industrial disease cases. Bradbury is knowledgeable of clinical negligence matters, including brain injury, dental negligence, and misdiagnosis claims. Other key members of the team include Anna McLeod, who is proficient in delays in the diagnosis of cancer, missed fractures in A&E, and serious surgical errors.

'A solid firm who has a large well-earned market share of personal injury and clinical negligence work in the East Midlands. Key strengths include first-rate client care, tailored case handling usually by one or two fee earners at the most, and meticulous case preparation.’

‘I felt looked after and safe in their hands throughout. One thing that did strike me is that I never felt the need to chase up the progress of my case. I knew I was being tended to appropriately. I believe this to be very important and a new client would want to know this. They were experienced and professional throughout.'

I sought Katie's assistance after taking voluntary redundancy. She was very prompt in her response to my initial enquiry, and from thereon in, everything was seamless. Katie explained the settlement agreement to me in simple terms and made the whole process as stress-free as possible. Thank you, Katie!
