Get listed on our solicitor database

Firms with one or more Panel-accredited solicitors can apply to be listed on our Find a Solicitor database, used by people affected by avoidable medical harm.

Help potential clients find you

Avma’s Find a Solicitor database is a popular tool available to people affected by avoidable medical harm to find accredited specialist clinical negligence solicitors, to approach for legal assistance regarding their case and potential claim for compensation.

Listing on the database is available only to solicitor firms with at least one practitioner accredited through our Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel. Firms are listed according to region(s) and specialism(s), with a “national coverage” option available to those firms which are able to offer services across England and Wales and meet the additional listing requirements (see the database listing fees section below).

Looking for a solicitor?

Are you a patient or family member looking for legal assistance with a case of clinical negligence? You can access our Find a Solicitor database here to find an appropriate legal practitioner to contact. Please note: Avma cannot guarantee that a solicitor recommended by us will take your case on.

Database listing fees

Listing on the Find a Solicitor database is managed on an annual basis, with a listing fee payable for each year from 1 October – 30 September. New firms can join at any time, with rates applied pro rata.

Fees are calculated according to the number of listings required by each firm. One ‘listing’ constitutes the inclusion of a firm’s office in a specific region, e.g. a Manchester office in the North West England region. If a firm wants a particular office to be listed in multiple regions, it will need to pay for multiple listings to cover each of them.

Firms can also apply for a “national coverage” listing to cover England and Wales. This is only available to firms with a Panel-accredited solicitor who is able to oversee cases from any part of both countries and is prepared to travel to meet with clients if necessary.

Please note: Firms who are members of our Lawyers Service will receive a 50% discount on their subscription fees.
