Krishna Kotecha

Partner

"Every client is different and each case brings its own challenges; this means that I am never bored and continue to learn new things. Moreover, there is great satisfaction in the knowledge that we, as a firm, have helped and will continue to help, to improve the quality of life of many people injured through negligent medical treatment."

Krishna joined the firm in 2006.

After qualifying, Krishna joined Thompsons Solicitors, a national Trade Union Practice, where she represented Claimants in personal injury cases. She became a Partner and remained with the firm for several years during which she dealt with and supervised a large volume of cases involving serious injuries acquired in the work place.

Krishna subsequently joined Browne Jacobson LLP, a leading Midlands firm, where she defended Hospital Trusts in claims for Clinical Negligence. She was involved in the defence of a multi-party action (involving more than 300 Claimants) as well as a variety of multi-million pound claims arising out of negligent medical treatment.

Krishna now acts exclusively for victims of Clinical Negligence.  She has considerable experience of high value and complex cases. Her current case load includes claims for wrongful birth, brain injuries, delay in the diagnosis of cancer and negligent treatment resulting in death. In Chambers UK, Krishna is described as a “Notable Practitioner” and “extremely assiduous and diligent” and is highlighted as having a “lovely manner with clients.
