Supporting you through baby loss 🩷🩵
Losing a baby or child is an unimaginable experience, and if you have concerns about the medical care you or your baby received, knowing what to do next can feel overwhelming.

There are a number of options available, from speaking with the healthcare team and making a formal complaint to seeking an independent review or exploring a medical negligence claim.

There is no single right path, and you do not have to make decisions before you feel ready.

In our latest article, our medical negligence team explains the different options available, what each process can and cannot achieve, and some important time limits to be aware of.

If you or someone you know is facing these difficult questions, we hope this provides some clarity at an incredibly difficult time.

We are proud to be the Foundation for Infant Loss’s sole Scottish legal partner. 🩷

This important partnership will allow us to support Scottish referrals through the Foundation’s network, while giving our team access to specialist training on the medical and emotional aspects of pregnancy and infant loss.

We’re committed to developing our understanding of maternity safety and trauma-informed communication, so we can provide informed, compassionate support to families seeking answers about their care.

As Dr Chantal Lockey says, our shared aim is to ensure that “families are listened to, their experiences are respected, and that crucial lessons are learned to improve future outcomes.”

As we look ahead to Baby Loss Awareness Week, we’re honoured to be working alongside the Foundation to support families, strengthen understanding and help ensure that experiences of loss are heard and respected.

FEEDBACK FRIDAY 💜

A lovely way to round off the week — taking a moment to celebrate some of the kind words our clients have shared with us recently.

Every case is different, but one thing remains the same: we want our clients to feel listened to, informed and supported from start to finish.

It’s especially rewarding to hear that our team’s approach has made a positive difference, whether we’ve been helping with personal injury, medical negligence, employment, family law, conveyancing or another area of law.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave us a review on ReviewSolicitors. We really do appreciate every kind word. 💜

Finding the right property is just the beginning.

From getting your finances and paperwork in place to noting interest, making an offer and completing the legal process, buying a home in Scotland involves several important stages.

In the latest instalment of our Home Behind the Door series, we break down the conveyancing process and explain what happens from preparing to buy through to settlement — and the moment the keys are finally yours.

Every home has a door — but there’s a journey before you get to open it. 🏡
