It takes a rare combination of sensitivity and tenacity to become as successful a clinical negligence lawyer as Mark Havenhand.
The cases Mark handles are often particularly traumatic for the claimants and they always appreciate Mark’s supportive and compassionate approach.
Mark specialises in all areas of clinical negligence including orthopaedic medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, urology and neurology. He has a proven track record of successful cases against surgeons, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, NHS Trusts, private healthcare providers and medical care provided by the Ministry of Defence.
Mark’s experience ranges from claims involving minor injuries, to severe cases where claimants have been left disabled, such as those involving birth injuries, as well as fatal claims including representing clients at Inquests before the Coroner. Specialist knowledge is required to understand and investigate these cases to maximise the chances of a successful outcome.
Mark has also achieved settlements for claimants classed as ‘protected persons’, for example, children and those who are deemed to lack mental capacity, where compensation awards require approval of the Court. He has also been involved in claims through the National Organ Group Litigation, dealing with organ retention claims outside Alder Hey.
Demonstrating his commitment to his specialist field, Mark regularly publishes case reports and articles and is a regular contributor to medico-legal journals.
Mark "elicits superb feedback from clients for his commitment and accessibility".

The friendly and supportive attitude of Mark was a great asset during the last four years, dealing with very sensitive information. He was highly knowledgeable and skilled at updating me using Layman’s terms.
