The Law Society has appointed experienced medical negligence solicitor Trevor Ward as the chief assessor of its clinical negligence specialist panel.

An assessor of the panel for the past 25 years and a senior solicitor with Fletchers in Manchester, Trevor will now take on the role of chief assessor for a three-year term, assuming responsibility for administering the Law Society’s clinical negligence application scheme. He has more than 30 years of experience in the legal field, and specialises in all areas of medical negligence. He is a fellow of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, and was involved in the setting up of the Society of Clinical Injury Lawyers.

Trevor said: ‘It is an absolute honour to accept this appointment and to be involved with such an important programme. I have been on the panel for many years so can bring a wealth of experience to the role of chief assessor. It is a great way to start the New Year and a role that I look forward to developing over the coming three years.’

CEO of Fletchers Solicitors Ed Fletcher added: ‘At Fletchers, Trevor is responsible for handling the most serious, life changing medical negligence cases the firm receives. He is highly regarded in the legal industry due to his level of experience and his dedication to upholding high standards of practice within the sector.’
