CL Medilaw, part of Knights, likes to do things differently. The “CL” in our name stands for “Changing Lives”: it’s what we do; it’s how we do it; and it’s how we remember why we do it. We are driven by putting our clients first, and committed to giving back to local and national charities, who support our clients and their families through the most challenging circumstances, when they have suffered medical negligence or serious injury.
CL Medilaw represents clients across the UK.

We provide a holistic service to our clients with our involvement often including deputyship and trusts, and education and welfare benefits advice alongside compensation claims. The level of expertise in our team is recognised by accreditations from The Law Society, AvMA, APIL and the Brain Injury Group.
