“A team of lawyers with an expert and practical approach to resolving issues swiftly and cost effectively.”

Lis Neil, Chief Executive Officer, Vale Healthcare Ltd


Clients include

  • Cwm Taf NHS Trust
  • Vale Healthcare Ltd

Legal advice, by itself, doesn’t always complete the commercial picture. In the rapidly changing medical and healthcare space, this is especially true.

To make sure that our clients, be they practitioners or service providers, get the best relevant advice we have joined with Create and Stanbridge Associates to form Medical Circles.

For our clients, this means a broader service than that usually offered by law firms. Capital Law’s lawyers continue to support the public and private medical sectors in all their legal needs; employment through property to commercial contracts. Medical Circles provides marketing, financial and strategic support and advice.

It’s a healthy combination, and one that delivers great results for our clients.

  • Advising on the corporate and property aspects of the merger of two businesses
  • Advising on share offer issues

As a matter of fact……

The NHS Trust whistleblowing case we mention resulted in a 39 day employment tribunal hearing. Our client’s victory meant that it was all worth it in the end.
