  • Medical negligence: misdiagnosis, surgical error, birth injury and informed-consent disputes, against private and government hospitals
  • Healthcare disputes: acting for patients, doctors and healthcare providers in medical disputes
  • Defamation: including online defamation, takedown and anonymous-poster applications
  • Civil and criminal litigation in the Magistrates', Sessions and High Courts
