The publication had this to say about us:
‘Slee Blackwell’s personal injury team has a niche in Animals Act, historic abuse and stress at work claims. The department is led by James McNally, who specialises in claims arising from dog bites. Elizabeth Duncan stands out for her work representing victims of historic abuse… Oliver Thorne takes the lead on clinical negligence cases, handling a variety of high-value claims, including in relation to birth injuries, spinal injuries and acquired brain injuries. The group is also instructed in cases arising from cosmetic surgery, vaginal mesh and missed cancer diagnoses.’
