Partner
Iain is manager of our Ilkley branch and an experienced Clinical Negligence Solicitor with an excellent reputation. He joined Ison Harrison originally in 1992 and then moved to another firm after ten years before moving back to Ison Harrison in March 2007. Working in clinical negligence, Iain says there is no better feeling than successfully concluding a case, particularly a birth injury case, with the knowledge that the child’s parents, who through no fault of their own have been made into full-time carers for their damaged son or daughter, now have the wherewithal to hire carers for their child for the rest of his/her life and that they can step back into their proper role of being Mum and/or Dad. As a fee earner in the clinical negligence department, Iain deals with high value and complex claims suited to a Grade A (more than 7 years relevant PQE) fee earner. He run cases from start to conclusion aided by an excellent secretary and paralegal and, where necessary by other members of the team. He has worked on many notable cases but the ones that really stand out are some of the cerebral palsy cases that he has settled, not least due to the different ways in which the children were injured, which brings home just how fragile babies/foetuses actually are.

Medical negligence
We were recommended to contact ISON HARRISON after my mum had complications from spinal surgery. We were assigned Iain Oliver to deal with the case & he has dealt with us for over 5 years. I have nothing but praise for Iain who showed compassion & understanding from day 1 & has been so professional & dedicated to achieving a suitable settlement figure. We were kept fully informed of everything & he was always available to answer our questions or clarify anything we didn’t understand or needed help with. I can highly recommend Ison Harrison as a firm, especially Iain Oliver & his team of medical legal specialists who provided much needed advice & support over the last 5 years. We had total trust & faith in Iain throughout & knew he would do his utmost to resolve the case efficiently, which he did excellently. He also helped us set up a LPA which made it much easier for us to deal with the case on behalf of our mum & we are truly grateful & thankful to him for absolutely everything he has done for us.

Medical Negligence claim
We approach Ison Harrison with a medical negligence claim against the NHS, after our mum was treated at Spire for a so called Routine operation.
We Dealt with Iain Oliver from the out set, to present day, Accumalating approx 5.5 yrs. Iain and his team have been outstanding from the outset. Completely Proffesional, and he spoke to us in a manner that we could understand the whole process.
We were more than happy with the final outcome, and even though its been hard to deal with for our mum, we have had a massive learning curve.
I would like to take this oppertunity to thank all those involved with this case, especially Iain Oliver. Highly reccomended
