Tom was first given accreditation with AvMA in 1996 and Richard in 2018.

The AvMA was established in 1982 and today the specialist clinical negligence panel is a highly sought-after quality mark for medical negligence specialists.

Mr Barnes is also a member of The Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel and a senior litigator member of The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

Richard Stanford joined the Medical Negligence Department at BTTJ in 2010 following a career at The Law Society and Solicitors Regulation Authority. He became a partner at BTTJ in 2021.

Alex Khan, managing partner at BTTJ, said: “Tom and his team work on medical negligence cases nationwide and have been successfully helping people obtain the answers and compensation they deserve for many years. Our lawyers provide expert guidance throughout the process of making a claim and look after you every step of the way.

“They have extensive knowledge and experience in advising claimants and their families, helping them get through what can be the most difficult of times.”

BTTJ has been providing legal advice in Warwickshire since 1797 and has offices in Coventry, Warwick, Balsall Common and Southam.
