Firm adds medical negligence specialist

Osbornes Law has announced that Jodi Newton has joined its medical negligence team.

Jodi handles serious and complex medical negligence claims with a particular focus on birth negligence relating to life-changing injuries such as cerebral and Erb’s palsy. She has a strong track record in securing lifelong care packages for injured people.

She also handles cases involving amputees and limb deformities resulting from medical negligence. Osbornes is one of only a handful of law firms nationally on the legal panel of the Limbless Association, a charity that supports amputees. Jodi is also an APIL accredited senior litigator.

Jodi comes into the team as an associate solicitor to join the growing medical negligence team headed by the current Medical Negligence Lawyer of the Year, Stephanie Prior.

Stuart Kightley, managing partner of Osbornes Law said: ‘Jodi is an accomplished medical negligence practitioner and I am thrilled that she has chosen to join Osbornes Law. We’ve seen considerable growth in medical negligence work recently under Stephanie Prior’s leadership and with Jodi on board we now have a formidable team.’

Jodi will work across the firm’s two offices in Camden and Hampstead.

Jodi Newton said: ‘Osbornes Law has a stellar reputation across the legal profession and so I see this as a perfect long term opportunity for me to grow my practice area. I’m particularly excited to be working alongside Stephanie Prior who is a leading light in this area. I envisage growing the medical negligence practice significantly with Stephanie over the coming years and I can’t get wait to get started.’
