Nick Fairweather, Head of Clinical Negligence at Fairweathers, commented:-
“I am delighted to have Lis join us. She has reached the pinnacle of her profession, alongside excelling academically, and joins us in a full time role, supporting our Medical Negligence Team, which will enable her to utilise her existing knowledge and skills base whilst developing a career with us as a Solicitor in the longer term. This further growth of the Department underlines our commitment and success in this specialist area”.
Lis herself commented:-
“This is a huge and exciting move for me. I absolutely loved all my years in nursing and saying goodbye to much valued friends and work colleagues was tough. I strongly feel, however, that this is the time for a career change for me and I am thorougly looking forward to utilising my clinical and theoretical knowledge base to help and advise patients in the legal setting. A legal career in litigation, with medicine as a specialist area, is the ideal combination for me. I am delighted to be joining Fairweathers, a young progressive firm whose reputation in the field locally is second to none”.
