The ‘first class’ Ashtons Legal ‘rivals the best London competitors‘. Tom Cook, ‘one of the most experienced clinical negligence solicitors in the country’, secured £8.9m in a mismanagement at birth claim. Sandra Patton is ‘a delight to work with’; Sharon Allison ‘applies vast knowledge with sensitivity and dedication‘, and ‘meticulous‘ Ben Ward is a rising star.

Clients trust Ashtons Legal ‘to make good decisions and do an excellent job’, thanks in no small part to ‘shrewd practitioner’ Sandra Patton, who has ‘deep tactical and technical knowledge’. Leading practitioner Tom Cook (whose ‘exceptional interpersonal skills make for excellent client relationships’) secured £5m for a victim of avoidable respiratory collapse. Newly promoted partner Sharon Allison is ‘a tenacious warrior and fearless crusader for her clients’. The firm has strong associates in the ‘hardworking, sensible and sympathetic’ and the ‘thoughtful and reliable’ Amanda Cavanagh.
