Fletchers Solicitors expands clinical negligence product liability team with two new specialist hires

Leading personal injury and clinical negligence law firm Fletchers Solicitors has announced the appointment of two new Partners, Lisa Lunt and Sarah Samuel, who will join the firm’s expanding medical product liability practice.

As demand grows for expert representation in claims involving defective or harmful medical devices and products, the appointments underline Fletchers ambition to strengthen its commitment to delivering legal support in this highly complex area of law.

Lisa Lunt, a seasoned solicitor with over 20 years of experience in clinical negligence and product liability, joins from Pogust Goodhead, where she was Head of Medical Product Liability.

Lisa led several high-profile group action cases involving defective medical products such as those involving hormone pregnancy testing, transvaginal mesh and Essure contraceptive devices, against large multinational pharmaceutical companies and Government bodies.

Sarah Samuel, previously a Legal Director at Pogust Goodhead, has experience in healthcare litigation, having supervised the department, led on strategy and made key case decisions alongside Lisa Lunt.

Having previously specialised in large scale group litigation against corporates, Sarah and her team represented women in claims against the manufacturers of medical devices. She was previously an Associate at Hill Dickinson.

“It’s great to welcome Lisa and Sarah to the firm to lead on our medical product liability cases,” said Adrian Denson, Chief Legal Officer at Fletchers.

“Their combined expertise significantly enhances our capacity to support clients pursuing justice in cases involving clinical negligence and faulty healthcare products, in line with our mission to be at the forefront of specialist legal services in this field.”

The new hires will be based in the firm’s Liverpool office, serving clients nationwide.
