Kate Parr

I’m an Associate Solicitor and Team Leader in the Clinical Negligence team, with 16 years of extensive experience. I primarily focus on cases involving orthopaedic, dental, gynaecological, maternal, and birth injuries.

Having had twins myself, I have a particular interest in, and specialise in, cases involving twin birth injuries. I bring a wealth of experience in navigating complex legal matters within these specialist areas.

I’m passionate about making a difference in the lives of my clients and find real fulfilment in advocating for their rights and securing the compensation they deserve.

My dedication to achieving justice is reflected in my work, including leading a claim that resulted in the highest ever damages award for a dental case in the Royal Courts of Justice. That award remains the highest general damages figure for a dental case, despite the matter having settled nearly a decade ago.

I head up dental negligence at Fletchers, overseeing dental work across four teams in Liverpool, and I’m also helping to grow a further two teams in Reading and Birmingham in response to increasing demand in this area of law.

I’ve demonstrated commitment to excellence and steadfast dedication to my client’s wellbeing. My ability to achieve exceptional results while providing compassionate support to those in needed is a testament to my professionalism and expertise in field of clinical negligence.

ANON:

I acted on behalf of a client in relation to her substandard dental treatment over a prolonged period. AG was awarded over £172,000 at trial in the Royal Courts of Justice.

I enjoy working at Fletchers because of the flexibility it offers, which allows me to balance my work effectively while still delivering at a high level. I really value the opportunity to build and grow dental teams across the country, which is both challenging and rewarding. Being trusted to help develop the team structure and expand our presence in different locations makes the role feel dynamic and gives me a real sense of ownership over the work I do.

I enjoy spending time with my family and keeping active, especially through yoga.
