Meet the Team

The Healthcare sector team is a group of solicitors within Thomas Mansfield who have a particular interest in working for clients in the Healthcare sector.

The team meets on a regular basis to discuss, for example, updates and issues arising in the Healthcare sector and to share knowledge and information affecting this sector.

Some of the benefits of using solicitors in the Healthcare sector team are that each team member has experience of advising clients within the Healthcare sector in many contentious and non contentious employment matters and they understand the needs of clients within the Healthcare sector too.
