Russell-Cooke expands medical negligence team

Adam joins from Leigh Day, where he spent over 13 years dedicated to representing claimants in challenging medical negligence cases. He has built a strong reputation for his expertise in various claims, including those related to birth injuries, acquired brain injuries, and delays in diagnosing severe illnesses. Notably, he has significant experience in cases of clinical negligence that lead to spinal cord injuries, including failures in diagnosis and treatment.

Janice Gardner, partner in the medical negligence team, articulated Adam’s valuable contribution by saying “Adam brings significant experience across some of the most complex areas of medical negligence, including spinal cord and acquired brain injury claims and inquests. These are important areas of growth for our practice, and his appointment deepens the specialist expertise we can offer clients who are often dealing with life-changing circumstances.” Adam has already successfully secured both substantial settlements for clients facing severe health challenges and compensation for families impacted by negligent medical practices.

Expressing his enthusiasm for the role, Adam stated “I’m delighted to be joining Russell-Cooke. What attracted me to the firm was its reputation for combining high-quality, specialist legal advice with a genuinely personal approach to clients.” He is eager to continue his advocacy for individuals affected by spinal cord injuries while also supporting families during complex inquest processes. In addition, Adam looks forward to collaborating with Back Up, a charity supported by Russell-Cooke that provides essential assistance to those affected by spinal injuries. With a solid academic foundation in law and medical ethics from prestigious institutions, Adam is a valuable addition to the firm’s medical negligence practice.
