Express Solicitors has announced it is strengthening its clinical negligence team with the appointment of a new Partner and deputy head of the department – Tanzeela Aslam – who has experience dealing with high value brain and spinal cord injury claims.
Qualified as both a solicitor and a barrister, Tanzeela joins Express from fellow Manchester-based personal injury firm Thompsons Solicitors.
Express Solicitors says that Aslam specialises in birth injury claims, particularly cerebral palsy cases, and has also acted across all types of clinical and medical negligence cases including failure to diagnose and treat, negligent diagnosis and treatment, delayed diagnosis and lack of consent.
Aslam’s experience includes dealing with high value brain and spinal cord injury claims, including one that culminated in a settlement of £10.6m. She has also been instrumental in securing interim payments of up to £1.6m to ensure a client’s rehabilitation and accommodation needs were met.
Tanzeela said: “I’m really excited to be joining Express at such an exciting time for the firm. I see my role not just about achieving justice for individuals, but also about educating society about clinical negligence.
“I can’t wait to get started and help guide and advise clients through the legal process.”
Head of Clinical Negligence, Carlos Lopez, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Tanzeela into our busy team. She brings a real positive energy alongside a wealth of experience. I can’t wait to see what she’ll achieve for our clients.”
