Dr Darren Conway is a clinical negligence solicitor at Derbyshire law firm Flint Bishop. Darren told us on HSL Workshare that he had been a solicitor for 10 years, all of which time he has specialised in clinical negligence claimant work. Prior to a career in the law, Darren was a scientist and acedemic in the field of Genetics. His previous experience and background allows him to bring a different perspective to his work in a law firm. Darren informed us that working towards a Phd is in many ways akin to running a small business. There are time limits and financial considerations. Ultimately, responsibility for the success of the project rests solely with the person doing the work. Much like running a law firm department.
Darren also highlighted the social, medical and scientific impact that clinical negligence legal work has on wider society. Often, the primary objective in bringing a claim is financial. There may be losses to recover and future medical and care costs to consider. However, as Darren pointed out, another factor, is helping to ensure that the negligence that occurred does not reoccur and that lessons are learnt. In Darren's experience, a claim that he worked on successfully achieved multi million pound damages for his client but also influenced the practice of ante natal testing.
On a marketing note, Darren led debate about videos on your website, a subject that I think, will be hugely important in 2014, if you want clients to engage with you.
Flint Bishop's week as Featured Firm allowed Darren to connect with more lawyers in firms around the country who now have awareness of his experience and skills and know to instruct him if they or their clients need a clinical negligence lawyer.
