Catherine Henry Lawyers and its principal, Catherine Henry, have again been recognised in the prestigious 2020 Doyles Guide lists of NSW’s top medical negligence compensation lawyers and law firms.
Ms Henry was listed again as a Recommended Medical Negligence Compensation Lawyer (Plaintiff) for 2020 – the fourth year in a row that she has had this honour. She is one of only four regional NSW lawyers to make this list – there is only one other in Newcastle and the Hunter region.
Her firm also received the accolade of Leading Medical Negligence Compensation Law Firm (Plaintiff) for 2020. Only 8 firms in NSW have had this recognition and only one other firm in Newcastle – Burgan Lawyers.
Ms Henry said it is gratifying to make such a prestigious list alongside some very well-known and established capital city firms and lawyers.
She said the recognition is due to her dynamic and extremely hard working team who are passionate about using the law to gain compensation and justice for people whose lives have often been torn apart because of poor healthcare.
“Our firm strives to bring leading medical negligence law services to people in regional areas,” Ms Henry said.
“This is important because the evidence shows that people in regional NSW have poorer access to health services and have poorer health outcomes than people living in capital cities,” she said.
“Our work plays an important role in not only providing justice and redress for people but it also helps to improve professional standards of healthcare and the healthcare system generally”.
The listings top off a year of accolades for the Newcastle-based firm. Ms Henry was named Regional Lawyer of the Year in the 2020 Australian Law Awards and is a finalist in the upcoming 2020 Women in Law Awards (to be announced December 10). The firm was a finalist for the Regional Law Firm of Year in the 2020 Australian Law Awards.
