Medical & Healthcare Law

For patients and families we act in medical negligence claims before the consumer forums and the civil courts, covering wrong diagnosis, surgical errors, anaesthesia accidents, pharmaceutical liability, and failure to obtain informed consent. We advise on the evidence required to establish negligence, on the engagement of medical experts, and on the quantum of compensation.

For healthcare providers we advise on compliance with the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, on the regulations of the National Medical Commission and the State Medical Councils, and on the conduct of internal enquiries. We defend providers in consumer complaints and civil suits where the claim is not made out, and we advise on the documentation and consent procedures that reduce the risk of litigation.
