Kelly Buckley

Kelly Buckley, Partner at Browne Jacobson LLP, leads a nationwide specialist maternity team of defendant clinical negligence lawyers and has been recognised as a ‘Next Generation Partner’ in the Legal 500.

Her role involves significant collaboration with various stakeholders including NHS Resolution, NHS Trusts, healthcare organisations, and Claimant’s solicitors and representatives. She sees the complexities and challenges faced in maternity care and the devastating impact this has on families. She also recognises the concerns that high-profile investigations and inquiries can raise among healthcare staff and providers. For her, the focus on learning from experiences and fostering a culture of transparency and continuous improvement must remain a cornerstone of high-quality healthcare.

Kelly is an advocate for driving improvements in maternity care through initiatives such as the Early Notification Scheme, alongside empathetic and collaborative dispute resolution. Her work aligns with MNSI’s objectives to improve safety through effective communication.
