healthcare & risk

Browne Jacobson’s Health Law team is made up of skilled lawyers with vast amounts of experience working in the healthcare sector and provides advice on property, commercial, employment and professional negligence issues.

Healthcare is a 24-hour business and so round the clock legal support is on tap for the firm's NHS and private clients. When clients are faced with immediate issues, such as staff receiving accusations or threats from a patient, it may be necessary to advise staff on a professional level and to take urgent legal action to protect them. Building on lessons learned from such incidents, the team work closely with clients to develop future prevention and risk management strategies.

In addition, the team offers other services including gaining planning permission, protecting intellectual property rights and advising on employment issues. It has extensive experience of dealing with public and NHS Inquires (and all the press interest which goes with them) along with training in areas such as complaints and claims handling systems and ensuring medical records are kept in line with the Data Protection Act. It provides legal and practical support and representation for clinicians and other health careworkers who are required to appear at hearings, tribunals or in court.
