We are proud to welcome Moosa-Duke Solicitors to our legal panel. Moosa-Duke Solicitors is a niche clinical negligence practice, winning Leicestershire Law Society Small Law firm of the Year in 2021.

Having witnessed the inspirational work that the Cauda Equina Champions Charity has done for some time in supporting people with CES, Moosa-Duke Solicitors are proud to have joined its legal panel.

Moosa-Duke Solicitors, a niche clinical negligence firm, has been working with Cauda Equina sufferers since its inception in 2003.  The firm brings unique expertise and insight as it is founded by Mehmooda Duke MBE DL and now run by Krishna Kotecha both former NHS defendant lawyers thus experienced from the ‘other side’.

The Cauda Equina team, grown over recent years, boasts 5 senior specialist lawyers who daily deal with and support victims of delays in treatment and surgery and errors by the NHS resulting in Cauda Equina syndrome.

The team sees the devastating. life changing impact on patients and their families.  Bringing a legal claim whilst dealing with a profound injury is challenging for sufferers especially as these cases can be robustly defended. Patience, tenacity a sympathetic and caring approach is fundamental.

In the words of one of the firm’s clients‘ I am struggling to put into words my gratitude. I hope you know how much I appreciate your support, diligent hard work and dedication from start to finish during the roller coaster ride of my case. …CES has been completely life changing. What the MDS team has provided me with is closure’

It would be wonderful if such injuries could be avoided in the first place. Helping make changes in the NHS to ensure patient safety has to be the way forward. Daniel O’Keeffe, one of the firm’s directors is currently working with 3 NHS Trusts to help do just that.
