Medical Solicitors has been ranked Band 3 for claimant clinical negligence in Yorkshire in the 2027 Chambers UK guide, with senior solicitor Esther Gaudoin also recognised as an Associate to Watch.
Chambers and Partners is a leading legal directory that recognises outstanding law firms and individual lawyers through an independent research and ranking process. The Chambers UK Guide describes itself as ranking the ‘top 2%’, with 1,017 firms and 16,000 individuals included in this year’s guide.
As a specialist law firm focusing exclusively on medical negligence claims, the recognition is a proud milestone for everyone at Medical Solicitors. With offices in Sheffield, York and Hull, being ranked amongst the elite firms in Yorkshire reflects the expertise, dedication and commitment to client care demonstrated across the firm.
The Chambers and Partners directory highlights our firm’s experience across a range of clinical negligence matters, including catastrophic birth injuries, iatrogenic surgical injuries and brain injuries. It also commends our team’s significant experience representing families at inquests.
Caroline Moore, who founded Medical Solicitors, in 2009, said: “We are particularly proud of this recognition because we are a relatively small specialist firm compared with some of the other practices ranked in Yorkshire.
“We have never tried to be a firm that does everything. Instead, we have concentrated on one area of law and built our expertise, our team and our reputation around medical negligence so as to provide the best possible service to our clients.”
Feedback we received from referees
During the process, Chambers conduct thousands of interviews and surveys with companies and individuals who have worked with law firms. Feedback is used to assess firms on qualities such as technical ability, professional conduct, client service and commercial astuteness.
Feedback from those who have worked with our firm describes the qualities we have always sought to build into our practice: specialist knowledge, meticulous preparation, clear communication and a supportive approach to the people we represent.
Other feedback highlighted our team’s professionalism, preparedness and the quality of our work, describing our lawyers as “excellent and a pleasure to work with.”
One referee said: “The team acts competently. It knows how to do things properly.”
Esther Gaudoin ranked as an Associate to Watch
Alongside the firm’s Band 3 ranking, Esther Gaudoin from our Sheffield office has been recognised as an Associate to Watch, highlighting her individual expertise in clinical negligence.
The feedback about Esther recognises both her legal knowledge and her approach to client care. One referee said: “Esther and her clinical negligence team have proved to be very good at helping clients navigate their way through the often difficult clinical negligence litigation.”
On her ranking, Esther said: “Since joining Medical Solicitors last year, I’ve really valued being part of a team that is so committed to supporting clients through what can be an incredibly difficult time in their lives.
“Clinical negligence cases can be complex and challenging, and it’s important that clients feel listened to, supported and well informed throughout the process. I’m proud to work alongside colleagues who share that commitment, and grateful that the importance of both specialist knowledge and client care has been recognised.”
The Chambers ranking is something our entire team can be incredibly proud of. This recognition reflects the hard work, expertise and dedication our team brings to every case. We are pleased to see those qualities recognised by Chambers and Partners and look forward to continuing to build on this achievement together.
