Medical Solicitors has announced a new leadership team, with three long-serving members of staff promoted to director.
Operations manager Jo Linton and senior clinical negligence lawyers Christine Brown and Matthew Brown were appointed to the board of directors on 1 April, in recognition of years of hard work and commitment to the Yorkshire-based niche medico-legal firm.
The trio join sisters Caroline and Annette Moore as directors of Medical Solicitors.
Jo Linton has been Caroline Moore’s right-hand woman for more than 10 years, first as a personal assistant before becoming the firm’s operations manager responsible for accounts, facilities, and health and safety.
Her promotion to director of operations will bring more responsibilities in assisting Caroline with the firm’s critical financial planning.
Jo Linton said: “It has been a pleasure to learn and grow under Caroline’s leadership. I am proud to have been offered the opportunity and excited to embark on this new chapter with Medical Solicitors.”
Christine Brown and Matthew Brown are both clinical negligence specialists with more than 20 years of experience. They have been with Medical Solicitors for eight and seven years, respectively.
They have both shown “great leadership, work ethic and expertise”, according to Medical Solicitors, as well as a proven track record for being tenacious and empathetic legal professionals, generating exceptional client feedback over the years.
Christine Brown said: “It has been a privilege since joining in 2015 to be part of the ongoing expansion of the firm as a leading clinical negligence practice.
“I am looking forward to contributing to the firm’s future growth and sustainable business practices whilst continuing to provide the highest professional standards of service to our clients.”
Matthew Brown said: “I have seen Medical Solicitors succeed and grow since joining in 2016 and am delighted to now become a director. I look forward to further success in provision of support, getting answers and securing justice for patients harmed by clinical negligence.”
Medical Solicitors has seen rapid growth in recent years, expanding its footprint across the Yorkshire region with the launch of two new branches in York and Hull. The firm now has a team of almost 30 staff who work across three sites, including in Sheffield.
Christine Brown said: “In order to sustain the firm’s growth, it was important to strengthen the foundations of Medical Solicitors with people I have trusted for a long time.
“Jo, Christine and Matthew have all made incredible individual contributions and have a great rapport with both colleagues and clients. Involving them more in the management processes here was the next logical step and a very positive move for the future of Medical Solicitors.”
