About Jodi Newton
I am a Partner and Head of Obstetric and Birth Injury in the clinical negligence department of Osbornes Law and have been qualified for nearly 24 years. With regard to my work for APIL, I am a co-ordinator for the Brain Injury Special Interest Group. I am also accredited as an APIL Senior Litigator.
I specialise in child brain injury, in particular cases involving cerebral palsy patients and I am dedicated to handling these claims with sensitivity, conscientiously but effectively as well, so as to secure the best personal and financial results for these particularly vulnerable clients. My firm is at the forefront of the drive for engaging in rehabilitation. I share those principles and take a rehabilitation orientated approach so that my clients access the very best therapies as well as being supported in their legal claims.
I am dedicated to supporting the families of my brain injury clients providing them with a particularly personal and empathetic service.
My work also covers a breadth of other clinical negligence cases including Erb’s Palsy cases, wrongful birth, avoidable amputation, avoidable loss of vision, failure to diagnose sepsis, misdiagnosis of cancer, surgical negligence, transplants, cosmetic surgery, and hip replacement negligence.
I have appeared in 2025 on Sky, BBC, and ITV in relation to the paediatric orthopaedic surgery review relating to patients at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. I regularly comment on developments in clinical negligence law having prepared and been quoted in several articles.
In the 2025 edition of the Legal 500, I am listed as a Next Generation Partner and recommended for being a “stand-out solicitor” with a “huge track record of successful clinical negligence work. She is forensic in her attention to detail, but also sees the broad sweep of strategic considerations”. I am recommended in Chambers 2025 as “Up and Coming” in clinical negligence.
