our trusted legal partners
Welcome to our trusted legal partners
Many parents who come to us asking for help ask for information about taking legal action against the hospital trust or board where they gave birth. With lots of firms out there, it’s not always easy to know where to turn for advice. We find that most traumatised parents are looking for a firm that will give honest information about their chances of success, will be sympathetic and understanding about the trauma they have been through and will provide a high-quality, professional service.
In response to this, we have created a panel of legal partners with experience of working with families who have experienced traumatic birth. These lawyers will also be able to offer advice on matters such as making a complaint to the hospital, asking for copies of birth records, gaining access to specialist services or employment rights after traumatic birth.
Our legal partners have also helped us create a very useful introductory guide to taking legal action after traumatic birth. If you’d like printed copies of the guide, please email enquiries@birthtraumaassociation.org.uk
We hold regular free clinics with our legal partners. The next one will be 13-18 July 2026 with Irwin Mitchell.
Taking legal action can be an arduous process, and you may find it helpful, as a first port of call, to talk to the doctors who cared for you before approaching lawyers.

The law firms included in the panel are independent, and not part of the BTA.
We do not receive any fees per enquiry if you choose to contact one of our Trusted Legal Partners.
Any contact you have with a legal professional is entirely confidential.
You are of course free to find alternative legal support that best suits your needs.
Zoom drop-ins
Our monthly Zoom drop-ins are currently on hold, but we hope to restart them soon. We do, however, run a monthly Zoom drop-in for dads, on the first Wednesday of each month, which is facilitated by Scott Mair of Fatherhood Solutions. You can book a place here and find out more about Scott’s work through his Instagram page here.
