Alison Brooks joins The Legal 500 Hall of Fame
A national award for outstanding client care
This year, The Legal 500 has honoured Alison Brooks, Head of Clinical Negligence at Barratts Solicitors, for her outstanding work over her 37 year career helping injured clients win clinical negligence claims.
Alison has been elevated to the Legal 500 Hall of Fame. This is a small group of lawyers recognised as the very best in their field. The accolade is given only to partners who have earned consistent praise from clients and respect from other professionals for many years with a track record of exceptional work.
What this means for our clients
This recognition is about more than just an accolade; it is a sign that clients who choose Barratts are working with one of the country’s most trusted solicitors in the field of clinical negligence. It means:
- Clients know they are in safe, experienced hands.
- Other lawyers and medical experts value Alison’s knowledge and judgment.
- Her track record of excellent results is based on client satisfaction over many years.
For anyone facing a difficult or complex clinical negligence case, this brings real reassurance and peace of mind.
Alison’s work and approach
Alison leads our Clinical Negligence Team, working on cases involving birth injuries, delayed diagnosis by GPs and trusts, surgical errors and other life-changing outcomes. She combines in-depth legal knowledge with empathy and understanding.
Alison’s focus is always on getting the best outcome for each individual client. It is not simply a question of compensation. For Alison, it means helping clients rebuild their lives and get access to the care and support they need now and in the future.
Alison says
“It’s a real honour to be named in The Legal 500 Hall of Fame. It is especially gratifying to me that it is based on reviews over many decades from my clients, peers and professionals who trust me and the team here and the results we achieve together.”
