There is no greater purpose than achieving justice for my clients and securing the compensation they deserve to rebuild their lives. I'm known to be extremely dedicated and fight strongly for what I believe in.
Alisha Puri, was fantastic - she cut to the chase, was a good listener, was excellent with my son (the reluctant claimant) and got a very good result for him. As well as decent financial compensation she helped my son to identify the help he needed about which he, and I, had been in denial really.

Get to know Alisha
I qualified as a Solicitor in 2010 and joined Slater and Gordon’s London medical negligence team as a Senior Associate in 2022.
I represent people and their families who've suffered injury, particularly spinal cord injury and brain damage due to substandard medical treatment. I deal with a wide variety of complex and high value claims, in particular:
Adult and child brain injury
Delayed cancer diagnosis
Amputation
Children who have suffered injuries at birth, including delays in delivery causing birth hypoxia or substandard medical treatment in the neonatal period resulting in neonatal hypoglycaemia.
Maternal birth injuries including perineal tears
I’m also a regular expert speaker at patient safety study days attended by leading physicians and health professionals.
Career highlights
I have represented a widower at a Coroner’s Inquest who tragically lost his wife to sepsis. The outcome resulted in several sepsis protocols being introduced at the Hospital Trust and training initiatives for all clinicians to improve timely sepsis diagnosis.
Some of the complex type of medical negligence cases I have successfully settled are as follows:
£7 million recovered for a child who suffered total visual loss and severe learning difficulties caused by neonatal hypoglycaemia.
£6 million recovered for a child who suffered birth hypoxia which caused cerebral palsy.
£600,000 settlement achieved for a woman who suffered a perineal tear during childbirth.
£450,000 recovered on behalf of a widower and her Late husband’s estate following inadequate post-operative care resulting in sepsis and organ failure.
Recognition
I’m accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) as a Senior Litigator.
The extra mile
I'm also a member of the APIL Diversity Board. I'm very passionate about championing Diversity and Inclusion. Our clients are from diverse backgrounds, and it is extremely important that their needs are represented and understood. Health inequalities occur and are entirely unfair and avoidable. It is important to make those accountable for racial and socio-economic disparities, and for everyone to receive the same standard of medical treatment.
