Tees has strengthened its Medical Negligence team with the appointment of Louise Tyler as Legal Director, bringing more than 30 years’ experience representing individuals and families affected by life-changing medical negligence.
Louise joins Tees with a long-established reputation for securing exceptional outcomes in some of the most complex medical negligence cases. Her expertise spans birth injury claims, delayed diagnosis cases, including cancer, and representing families at inquests, particularly those involving the death of a child.
Throughout her career, Louise has helped clients recover substantial compensation to provide lifelong care and support. She has acted in several high-profile and complex cases, including representing the family of Jack Adcock at the inquest and subsequent negligence claim. She has also secured an eight-figure settlement for a child with cerebral palsy following a delayed birth, substantial compensation for a young girl blinded through delayed treatment, and damages for a family following the death of a mother during childbirth.
Louise is recognised as a Leading Partner in The Legal 500, where she has been recommended for a number of years. The guide describes her as “an exceptional solicitor with an outstanding amount of knowledge.”
Her expertise is further recognised through her appointment to both the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel and the Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel. She is also a member of the Northamptonshire Law Society and a former Secretary of the Society of Clinical Injury Lawyers (SCIL).
At Tees, Louise will work alongside the firm’s highly regarded Medical Negligence team, supporting clients through some of the most difficult circumstances they can face.
Louise Tyler said:
“I am delighted to be joining Tees. The firm’s reputation for putting clients first and delivering expert, compassionate advice really stood out to me. Medical negligence claims are about much more than financial compensation. They are about securing answers, achieving accountability and ensuring people have the support they need for the future. I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues to continue delivering the very best outcomes for our clients.”
