Since joining us Shantala has worked primarily in Medical Negligence as well as undertaking some Mental Health Review Tribunal work.
Upon qualifying, she joins our medical team (1 of 6 lawyers within the team now) to work exclusively on clinical negligence claims.
Shantala commented:-
“It has been a long haul but I am thrilled to finally be qualified as a solicitor and to be joining pokies online Fairweathers’ medical team on a qualified basis. It has been a steep learning curve for me since I joined the firm as I have already taken on a considerable case load which I am looking forward to continuing with and developing now that I am qualified. It is great to be working with such enthusiastic and supportive colleagues and to be back in Kent.”
Fairweathers CEO, Nick Fairweather, commented:-
“It is great to have Shantala joining the team as a qualified lawyer.
