Jill Weston and Charlie Mawdesley are stand-out lawyers; both have an encyclopedic knowledge of healthcare and inquest law but are practical lawyers. Swiftly able to understand the context of a case and able to think strategically. Really impressive.

Jill Weston is a stellar advocate; her questioning of witnesses is beautifully done. She clearly prepares cases incredibly thoroughly, but when she asks questions she does so in a way that makes you think she's chatting to the witness over coffee. Brilliant.

Jill is an exceptional lawyer. She has in-depth knowledge of healthcare legislation and can relay this in a helpful, practical, pragmatic and professional manner.

Jill Weston is absolutely encyclopaedic! Hugely experienced and it shows - feels like there's nothing about healthcare law which she doesn't know. Which is an enormous strength when acting for public bodies under significant financial and legal pressure.
