Laura Cleevely

Experience Profile

Laura is an Associate Solicitor in our Clinical Negligence team at Slater and Gordon Lawyers in London.

She qualified in 2011 and has since specialised in clinical negligence. She previously trained in a regional firm with a strong client focus and then moved to a national firm to strengthen her experience. She currently enjoys working in our London office with a close, experienced team that has a drive for client care.

Laura acts for claimants for a wide range of issues, including birthing and spinal injuries, misdiagnosis, fatal claims, surgical errors and consent issues. She has assisted in group action litigation and has experience advising clients of medical product liability claims.

Laura was part of the team who achieved global settlement in the sum of £37 million for the Ian Paterson litigation. This case involved novel points of law and attracted much media attention. It is thought that the case may lead to a public enquiry into the regulation of private doctors.
