Iain Dodd

Iain Dodd is a Partner and successful Senior Solicitor and Team Leader within our Medical Negligence Department, specialising in catastrophic injury clinical negligence cases; with a particular interest in spinal cases.

Due to his exceptional results, Iain is now predominantly only instructed on claims exceeding £1 million, usually in relation to brain injury, spinal cord injury and amputations. Iain practices almost exclusively in the High Court and is a solicitor-advocate, obtaining many multi-million-pound settlements, either by way of a lump sum and/or annual payments. Iain consistently achieves significant settlements on exceptionally complex claims and approaches every single case with rigorous care for the individuals involved. He is dedicated to fighting hard for his clients.

“I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me and my family. Your knowledge and skill is remarkable but your care and kindness means so much to me. I can remember my first meeting with Iain seems such a long time ago, but your compassion has never altered. You are all very special people. Please keep in touch, you have become more like family than solicitors.”

“Iain has been wonderful. The whole team from start to finish have given me a first-class service. I have already recommended them to others, and I will continue to do so.”
