Emily Warner

I’m a clinical negligence paralegal based in the Northampton office. I assist with the management of clinical negligence claims, ranging from standard to complex, while also managing my own caseload.

My work includes a range of administrative and case management tasks such as drafting instructions to medical experts, liaising with opposing solicitors, and preparing legal documents including Letters of Claim and witness statements.

My personal motivation for working in clinical negligence is seeing the positive impact to clients, as settlements can make a real difference to people’s lives and although no amount of money will put it right, it can make life easier and gives them a chance to get them back out into the community.

I would describe my approach as empathetic, caring and professional. I always offer a listening ear to clients and provide reassurance. I think this is important as clients are quite often going through the most difficult time of their lives, so it is important to remain supportive and caring.

My team brings a caring yet pragmatic approach as we all share the same motivation – we want to help people and do a good job. A real asset is that we are able to explain complex legal issues to clients in a way they understand.

Three things I enjoy about working at Fletchers would have to be the culture, the complexity of the work and my colleagues.

I enjoy going to the theatre and concerts, seeing my friends and family, walking and being out in nature. I love all things beauty and cosmetic related, and I also occasionally like to paint!
