2025’s medical negligence lessons, and what it means for this year

In the face of voluminous market change, from privacy to technology, medical negligence work is perhaps more challenging than ever before. In the face of such a climate, there are myriad takeaways for practitioners in this space as the new year gets underway.

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Arnold Thomas & Becker Lawyers principal and head of medical negligence Emily Hart about her background in personal injury law, perceptions about "what a lawyer is", her biggest takeaways from the last 12 months in medical negligence law and what has stood out to her, and why it's such a fast-growing practice area.

Hart also delves into growing trends in this space, including medical technology and devices, and how such developments are changing the game for lawyers, the impact of AI and other emerging technologies, the extent to which cyber security hacks are influencing lawyers' work with clients, the difficulties that lawyers in this space will face in 2026 and beyond, and why prioritising lawyers' wellness will be so essential moving forward.
