Law firm Penningtons Manches Cooper has appointed partner Robert Dransfield in its personal injury and medical negligence team.
Dransfield joins the firm from Stewarts, where he was a medical negligence partner between 2007 and 2025.
He has particular expertise in major spinal cord injury and cauda equina syndrome claims, and is also experienced in brain injury, oncology, infection and amputee claims, particularly those valued at in excess of £1 million.
Dransfield is a specialist panel member of Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA), the UK charity for patient safety and justice, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, and an Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) practitioner.
He commented: 'It is a privilege to join such a well‑regarded national practice. My work will remain centred on advocating for clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries, with particular emphasis on complex cauda equina syndrome claims and life‑changing brain and spinal cord injury cases. Penningtons Manches Cooper has strong specialist teams in all my key areas of focus, and I have long been genuinely impressed by its reputation in the sector.'
Dransfield will be based in the London office.
