our trusted legal partners
Welcome to our trusted legal partners
Many parents who come to us asking for help ask for information about taking legal action against the hospital trust or board where they gave birth. With lots of firms out there, it’s not always easy to know where to turn for advice. We find that most traumatised parents are looking for a firm that will give honest information about their chances of success, will be sympathetic and understanding about the trauma they have been through and will provide a high-quality, professional service.
In response to this, we have created a panel of legal partners who we trust to offer good quality advice and are compassionate towards parents who may still be experiencing distress as a consequence of their traumatic birth. These lawyers will also be able to offer advice on matters such as making a complaint to the hospital, asking for copies of birth records, gaining access to specialist services or employment rights after traumatic birth.
The following law firms are recommended by the Trustees of the Birth Trauma Association.
