Lauren Watkins

Headed by the ‘superb’ Ken Thomas, Harding Evans LLP’s 11-strong team has an ‘excellent reputation’ in Wales and beyond, across a wide range of clinical negligence cases brought against medical, nursing and dental practitioners. As one of the very few firms in Wales with a clinical negligence Legal Aid franchise contract, the team receives a significant flow of publicly-funded mandates.

Alongside Thomas, Lauren Watkins has had a key role in developing the practice, and is noted for her expertise across a range of negligence claims, including in relation to brain and birth injury, spinal injury, obstetric and gynaecologic cases.

‘As well as the firm’s capability and willingness to take matters through to trial, the team is often able to settle cases on excellent terms, without even needing to issue a claim, a testament to the stature with which it has gained over the years. Other notable practitioners include Lauren Watkins, whose workload includes high-value cerebral palsy claims’.
