A Herefordshire law firm is marking a trio of successes – with national recognition, exam accolades and new staff giving plenty of cause for celebration.
Lanyon Bowdler has been recommended as a top level law firm for clinical negligence in two national guides, and is expanding its clinical negligence team to meet a growing demand for its services.
Lucy Small, partner and head of the Hereford clinical negligence team, said another reason to celebrate was legal assistant Kate Ivey’s achievement in gaining her CILEX Professional Diploma in Law and Practice – passing her Level 3 exams with distinction.
She said: “Big congratulations must go to Kate for passing her CILEX exams. She is a valued member of the clinical negligence team and has worked very hard for her success.
“CILEX is a highly regarded organisation within the profession which is helping thousands of people develop a career in law while providing employers with outstanding talent.
“It was also great to see Lanyon Bowdler once again recommended as a top tier firm for clinical negligence in The Legal 500 and Chambers UK guides which were published recently.
“Clinical negligence is an important area of the law and Lanyon Bowdler is seeing more enquiries than ever from people who are seeking justice following significant injury.
“It can be an extremely complex field but it is very rewarding when we are able to deliver the support and favourable outcomes for clients, often at what can be the most challenging times of their lives.
“The increase in demand for our services has necessitated an expansion of our clinical negligence team in Hereford and we are delighted to have added to the team throughout 2023 to ensure we can help a growing number of clients.”
CILEX is the professional association and governing body for Chartered Legal Executive Lawyers. It has a growing network of 17,000 legal professionals and is helping to shape the specialist legal workforce of the future.
The organisation’s membership includes students, paralegals, judges, lawyers and other legal professionals.
