Chambers UK 2009: “At Davies and Partners, Gillian Solly maintains her excellent reputation as a “totally sound” clinical negligence lawyer.” Gillian has acted for claimants in Heil v Rankin (2003) where awards for pain suffering and loss of amenity were increased generally by a third, Wraith v Sheffield Forgemasters (1995) and R v CICA ex parte Vick a CICA claim. She specialises in complex and high value claims.

Her clinical negligence practise is diverse. She handles the highest value cases for birth and profound injuries whilst also acting in lower value cases where the impact on the family may be profound but of limited financial value.
