Legal 500 UK, 2026

Every case is unique, but the impact of a medical error can be emotionally and physically devastating. Compensation can provide financial security for the future, particularly where there are lasting needs. It could, for example, pay for professional carers, medical treatment and therapies and specialist equipment.
Tees is a top-tier Legal 500 firm with a leading medical negligence team. We specialise in handling complex, sensitive claims, often cases other firms won’t take on, and have a strong track record of winning general medicine compensation claims for our clients.
We’re honest about your chances of success. If we don’t believe a claim is likely to succeed, we’ll explain why. If we do take on your case, and it doesn’t succeed, you won’t pay anything because we work on a no win, no fee basis.
We’re passionate about campaigning for change to medical practice, and helping to ensure mistakes that have affected our clients are not repeated.
