Slater and Gordon—Steven Baylis & Anna Hansen

Slater and Gordon continues personal injury specialist services growth
Slater and Gordon has strengthened its Personal Injury team with a host of new hires.  RTA specialist Steven Baylis and clinical negligence lawyer Anna Hansen (pictured) have joined with over 36 years’ experience combined.

 

The pair have dealt with a number of high-profile cases and specialise in traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, missed diagnosis and preventable amputations. While Steven will be focusing his efforts on high value cases that arise out of Road Traffic Accidents for the team in Birmingham, Anna will take up the role of Principal Lawyer within the Manchester clinical negligence team.

Madelene Holdsworth, Senior Practice Director of Slater and Gordon’s specialist injury department, said: “The personal injury team has never been stronger and we’re excited to have both Anna and Steven join us to assist in supporting our clients through extremely difficult times.”
