Cardiovascular Advisors is a unique collaboration of first-class clinical experts, offering medico-legal advice on all aspects of injuries involving the cardiovascular system. We offer advice on venous arterial disease & injury, vascular interventional radiology, stroke medicine & neurology, diabetes & the diabetic foot, cardiology & cardiac catheterization, haematology, thrombosis & thrombophilia and cardiovascular life expectancy. On winning the 2017’s Most Highly Regarded Expert Witnesses - North West award, we are delighted that our medico-legal services have been deemed as ‘highly regarded’ by AI Global Media. 2017 for us has been a very successful year to- date as, in addition to securing this award, we have also been awarded Expert Firm of the Year 2017 by The Lawyer Monthly. Both awards are certainly testament to not only the high level of advice offered by our experts, but also our exceptional customer service. In recent years, we have seen a surge in the number of clinical negligence cases, brought about where there has been a delay in the diagnosis of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which has led to limb loss.

Owing to confidentiality, we are unable to disclose details of notable cases where we have been or are instructed on. However, we are instructed nationally and internationally in not only clinical negligence and personal injury cases, but in criminal and private law matters too. We have received exceptional feedback from the majority of our clients. In recent weeks, we have been approached by a number of national law firms who want to forge working business relationships based on our reputation to-date. In 5 years’ time, we hope that we will have managed to build on our current practice and have cornered the market with respect to cardiovascular medico- legal advice. In addition to building up the work of Cardiovascular Advisors, we intend to set up other medico-legal advisory companies, offering medico- legal advice on injuries sustained to other parts of the anatomy.
