Catherine Bell 

I’m a Legal Director and solicitor‑advocate specialising in clinical negligence, with particular expertise in complex neurological claims. I represent both children and adults who have suffered brain damage as a result of medical treatment, including children with cerebral palsy. I also handle a broad range of clinical negligence claims involving obstetric and gynaecological injuries, spinal injuries, visual impairment, amputations and fatal cases.

I have a proven track record of securing good results in complex, high‑value cases, particularly those involving life‑changing injuries. I’m recognised for my ability to resolve complex issues and successfully conclude challenging cases, including those considered too difficult by other firms. I’m known as a strong negotiator, praised for my confidence and conviction in fighting for the best outcome.

I’m recommended for the way I guide people through the complicated and technical legal process. I help clients secure answers and obtain the compensation needed to fund care and equipment that can help rebuild their lives. I’m often praised for my patience, positivity and supportive, empathetic approach, helping reduce the stress of litigation during what can be a difficult and emotional time.

I do this work because I want people to get clear answers and the support they need after life‑changing medical treatment. I’m driven by the difference strong, determined representation can make,   helping clients secure the care, equipment and stability that allows them to rebuild their lives. Knowing I can bring clarity, confidence and direction to a complex process is what motivates me every day. 

I work with clients in a clear, steady and highly focused way. I break down complex medical and legal issues so they feel fully informed and able to make confident decisions. My approach is patient, positive and practical, offering reassurance while keeping the case moving forward. I aim to reduce stress by giving clients clarity, direction and strong advocacy throughout a challenging process. 

Our team is experienced and focused on providing excellent client care. Becca Horley is an award winning solicitor whom I manage and who is a well known public facing lawyer. Priya G has impressive technical knowledge, particularly in complex litigated work. Our paralegals are highly experienced within the specialism and provide strong continuity and support in progressing cases.
