Lester Aldridge—Liz Oaten

Liz brings more than 30 years of extensive practical experience in managing high profile clinical negligence claims. She has secured multi-million-pound settlements for claimants across a broad spectrum of specialities including obstetrics, gynaecology, neurosurgery, urology, orthopaedic and plastic surgery. Liz also is experienced in pursuing professional negligence claims against solicitors arising out of their poor management of medical negligence claims.

As well as being accredited as a mediator, Liz is a member of all three specialist clinical negligence schemes. She is also an assessor for the APIL clinical negligence panel and an APIL senior litigator.

“I am delighted to welcome Liz to Lester Aldridge”, said the firm’s managing partner, Matthew Barrow. “The addition of a lawyer of Liz’s calibre, who has the experience advising on all aspects of clinical negligence, enhances the support we can provide our clients, and complements our existing personal injury and medical negligence offering in the Bournemouth and Southampton offices.”
