Our Services

Fixed Fee Screening Reports

Our fixed fee screening reports provide a preliminary overview of a potential case of clinical negligence. Our experts can assess the viability of the claim and identify the main issues and evidence involved.

Causation and Breach of Duty Reports

Our causation reports provide expert opinion on the cause of illness and its impact on the claimant. Our experts understand in medical negligence claims, it can be crucial to comprehend how an illness developed and the consequences of the defendant's actions.

Condition and Prognosis Reports

Our Condition & Prognosis Reports provide expert opinion on the current condition of a claimant and any likely future impact. Our experts ensure these reports can be used to determine how much compensation may be due.


Actuarial Survival Reporting

Our Life Expectancy Reports provide expert opinion on the life expectancy of a claimant. Our experts will analyse all relevant information and provide a clear, concise and objective report to enable the value of claims for loss of earnings or dependency to be determined

Medical Pagination

We recommend that records are organised chronologically and numbered, however we are able to organise notes with an index on enquiry instruction.

Pro Bono service

Pro bono advice is offered, but on a limited number of papers (no more than four sides of A4)

Our Experts


Our team includes a carefully curated group of exceptional experts in the field of cancer care, across multiple disciplines and cancer types, available for consultation to provide invaluable medico-legal opinions. These clinicians possess a wealth of experience, deep-rooted knowledge, and a profound understanding of the medical intricacies surrounding cancer. Our Consultant Clinicians stand as pillars of expertise, offering crucial insights and evidence-based opinions on cases involving cancer diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes. With their vast experience, they meticulously evaluate medical records, interpret complex diagnostic tests, and critically assess treatment plans, providing a well-informed and up-to-date perspective.

Our experts commonly write expert witness reports across multiple cancer types including breast, urological, gynaecological, skin, gastro-intestinal, colorectal and head and neck. Our experts come from surgical, medical, oncological, radiological and pathological specialties.

In cases of delayed diagnosis of cancers, we can calculate tumour doubling times to accurately assess potential loss of life, as well as providing analysis of the prognosis of cancers and accurate actuarial survival for your patient.

We are happy to provide unique clinical review options and pathways to ensure matters of substandard care can be identified quickly, or alternatively clinical learning can be developed to prevent recurrence of patient incidents to improve patient safety.
