Read some of the testimonials that our top medical accident solicitors have received in the 2025 edition of The Legal 500.

Our status as one of the top medical accident solicitors in the UK has been further enhanced by our inclusion in the latest edition of the independent legal guide, The Legal 500.

The Legal 500 is a guide to law firms and solicitors worldwide. Decisions on which firms of solicitors to include in the prestigious guide are based on a detailed analysis of thousands of interviews carried out by independent legal researchers.

The 2025 edition of The legal 500 leads with the following assessment of the medical negligence department at Slee Blackwell Solicitors, the firm behind this specialist medical accidents website:

Slee Blackwell continues to be a go-to firm due to its ability to ‘competently handle complex claims’. Practice head Oliver Thorne specialises in birth injury claims, as well as frequently representing claimants in inquests. Caroline Webber-Brown is noted for her niche focus on mesh-related litigation. In November 2023, dedicated specialist Clarissa Ellerington joined the group from Thompsons Solicitors LLP.

The 2025 edition also includes a number of testimonials which have been collated independently by The Legal 500 research team:

  • ‘Caroline Webber-Brown has excellent attention to detail, solid judgment on the strengths of a given case, is utterly committed to the client and prepares her cases very well. The results for her clients are always excellent.’
  • ‘I continue to be impressed by the [clinical negligence] team and how they competently handle complex claims. I have heard only positive feedback from claimants when assessing them. I have recommended them to friends in the South West with potential claims as I know they will be in safe hands.’
  • ‘Oliver Thorne heads the department. I sense he and the team are really going places. Oliver handles cases with a calm and logical manner. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him.’
  • ‘My legal team is Oliver Thorne and Mia Nicholson, they are both amazing at what they do and I wouldn’t want to be dealing with anyone else. Oliver is very informative and is always willing to answer my questions and provide me with everything I need to know and Mia is great at keeping in touch and sending over all relevant paperwork.’

The Legal 500 is an influential guide to the UK’s legal sector, boasting more than 4 million visits to its website each year. Published annually The Legal 500 ranks law firms across the nation according to independent research.

Slee Blackwell partner, Oliver Thorne, who is an AvMA panel member, commented:

“It is fantastic to be once again included among the nation’s top medical accident solicitors by The Legal 500.  It is a tribute to all the hard work that is put in by our dedicated team. The fact is, we care about our clients, and I think this shows.”

Slee Blackwell Solicitors also have Lexcel accreditation, which is the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for excellence in legal client care.
