What happens when medical treatment goes wrong?

Tara Pileggi-Byrne, Associate Solicitor, explains what it is like working in the medical negligence team.

Growing up in a small Welsh valley town with Irish and Malaysian parents, Tara never imagined she'd become a solicitor specialising in medical negligence. After discovering her squeamishness ruled out a medical career, she found her calling in law, particularly helping those who've suffered life-changing injuries through substandard healthcare.
Every day, Tara helps clients navigate the aftermath of devastating medical errors spinal cord injuries, brain haemorrhages, sepsis cases, and amputations. She approaches each case with compassion, understanding that clients have often spent months gathering the courage to make that first contact. Working alongside medical experts and barristers, she meticulously builds cases that can restore not just financial security, but dignity and independence.
Through her role as a social mobility champion, Tara also works to ensure the legal profession becomes more accessible to students from all backgrounds, mentoring young people who might otherwise never consider law as a viable career path.
