Emma Wray

England

Hodge Jones & Allen · Emma, a partner in the Medical Negligence team, combines a sharp intellect with rigorous clinical knowledge. She is relentless in her pursuit of justice for her clients, who praise her ability to achieve exceptional results while supporting them through the legal process. Her practice covers all areas of clinical negligence from high value cerebral palsy, spinal injury and amputation claims to more modest value, but usually equally complex, claims across the spectrum. Emma has an outstanding talent for uncovering case-winning evidence in clinical negligence claims, recently securing a £16m settlement in complex litigation for a child whose limbs were amputated following a delay in diagnosis of streptococcal septicaemia. Another highlight was settling a challenging and fiercely fought child brain injury case with recovery of life changing damages in the face of a pre-existing genetic condition which meant the child would have had significant disabilities in any event. Clients have found that Emma is ruthless at tracking down the necessary documents and ensuring proper disclosure. With 10 years’ frontline clinical experience in the NHS, she brings an insider’s understanding, allowing her to interrogate records to her clients’ advantage. Clients praise Emma’s rare combination of empathy and legal excellence. One recently said she “was not just a solicitor for my son” but had “gone beyond her call of duty to support us when we needed help”. Emma’s results, they said, had “changed our lives forever”.
