Hampshire: Moore Blatch continues expansion
Hampshire law firm Moore Blatch is continuing its expansion with the appointment of six new personal injury and clinical negligence specialists.
Anne Carvalho, Denise Stephens, Rebecca Waller, Lee Harris, Fadwa Errhioui and Carla Mandis have joined the leading law firm’s insurance division to meet the growing demand from its diverse and expanding range of clients for quality advice in this field.
Moore Blatch’s latest recruitment drive brings the total number of staff to more than 220 at five offices based in Southampton, Lymington, Milford-on-Sea and Richmond.
Anne Carvalho joins the firm’s Southampton office from Chichester-based George Ide Phillips. Prior to specialising in clinical negligence claims, Carvalho pursued a career in midwifery at a senior level, providing maternity units with risk management advice.
In her new role, Carvalho will assist with the firm’s obstetric claims and its longstanding pro-bono commitment to educating health care providers in the areas of clinical risk management.
Damian Horan, partner and head of the Moore Blatch insurance division, said: “We are renowned for our specialism in personal injury and medico-legal issues and have extensive expertise in managing both high value personal injury and clinical negligence claims.
“It has been a busy time for our specialist insurance team. We have continued to respond to the increasing demand for quality legal advice in this field, both locally and nationally.
“Part of this has included a programme of expansion and the appointment of our six new fee earners will only strengthen our existing team and I am delighted to welcome them all on-board.”
Also joining the firm’s Southampton team from Hart Brown is senior solicitor Denise Stephens. She has 15 years’ experience specialising in multi-million-pound medical negligence cases and high value personal injury claims.
Solicitor Rebecca Waller and Legal Assistant Lee Harris both specialise in road traffic accident claims, with Waller also having vast experience in employer’s liability, public liability and catastrophic injury cases.
Last but by no means least, is the appointment of solicitors Fadwa Errhioui and Carla Mandis.
Errhioui, who has been qualified for three years, joins from a Bournemouth based firm and mainly specialises in employer’s liability issues.
Mandis brings eight years experience to her new role and has a wealth of knowledge in personal injury issues particularly in dealing with stress at work claims.
Moore Blatch has been recognised by Legal 500 and Chambers as one of the top leading full-service law firms in the south east.
