Bevan Brittan—Amanda Wright-Kluger

Health and care advocate appointed as partner

An experienced health and care advocate has become the second partner in as many months to join Bevan Brittan’s market leading Health & Care Regulatory team, as it continues to grow to meet client demand.

Amanda Wright-Kluger has extensive experience of working with health and care providers across the independent and NHS markets on patient and service user care issues as well as governance and risk management.

Based in the Birmingham office, Amanda will support health and care clients across the country. She is a solicitor advocate as well as a qualified US attorney with many years' experience as a civil trial lawyer.

Her appointment comes at an exciting time for Bevan Brittan’s Health & Care Regulatory team, with new partner and health and social care expert Amrita Hurst also joining the firm in August.

Commenting on her appointment, Amanda said: 'Bevan Brittan has a strong reputation for its health and care practice and I’m looking forward to working with the team and supporting clients on a range of health and care regulatory issues. My focus is always to help clients achieve the best possible outcome and guard against future risks.'

Tim Hodgetts, partner and head of the Health & Care – Resolution & Regulatory department at Bevan Brittan, added: 'Demand for our services continues to increase and Amanda has exceptional experience at a senior level that is a great fit for our team. We are delighted that she has joined us, and I know that our clients will benefit from her legal knowledge, sensitivity and focus on providing excellent service.'

The expansion of Bevan Brittan’s Health & Care – Regulatory team comes after another successful year for the top-100 law firm. It reported ten consecutive years of revenue and profit growth and 31 senior lateral hires including three partners in the 2022/23 financial year.
