JMW—Sara Stanger

Clinical negligence specialist joins to head up Liverpool team

JMW has appointed Sara Stanger to lead its newly established Liverpool-based clinical negligence team, adding to its existing teams in Manchester and London. A specialist in high-value, complex claims, Stanger brings more than 15 years' experience, Law Society accreditation, and Senior Litigator status with APIL. 'I am absolutely delighted to join JMW,' she says, 'and will continue my commitment to securing justice for those affected by medical negligence.'

Known for her compassionate approach, Stanger has worked on a range of serious cases, including birth injuries, delays in diagnosis, and fatal claims, securing substantial compensation for clients. She has also been involved in high-profile public inquiries, such as the Thirlwall Inquiry and the Southport dance school tragedy. 'These cases are incredibly sensitive,' she says, 'and I am passionate about ensuring families receive the support and justice they deserve.'

Her move reunites her with Liverpool office head Beverley Jones, with whom she first worked more than 15 years ago. Jones welcomes the appointment, stating: 'Not only are we joined by someone I have known and respected for many years, but also, through Sara, we now offer Clinical Negligence expertise to our clients.'

Eddie Jones, head of Clinical Negligence at JMW, adds: 'Sara’s excellent reputation and experience make her a great addition to the team.'
