I am a Partner at Bevan Brittan and Head of the London Health & Care Resolution team. I specialise in clinical negligence claims and through working closely with NHS Resolution, I have developed a particular interest in cases involving brain injury, as well as psychiatric claims. As such, my focus and experience is on running high value cases with complex quantum issues for the NHS.
My practice also extends to advising insurers and private health clinics on medical malpractice matters, with a particular focus on international and fertility claims.
I have a broad background as a lawyer acting in the health, care and housing sectors. I take a particular interest in mental health and human rights law and am a First Tier Tribunal Judge for the Mental Health Review Tribunal. I also regularly advise clients on data protection and information management issues.Joanne Easterbrook is incredibly impressive.
Seminars:
I am a regular speaker on current legal issues and have recently spoken on Consent, the Human Rights Act and Mental Health Law, being a witness in MHRTs, Corporate Manslaughter and information management.
Jo always provides excellent advice and solutions to the many varied issues that arise day to day.
