Karen Clarke.

Karen has worked closely with case managers and worked on a case which was extremely complex, managing a young man with severe traumatic head brain injury and health and wellbeing concerns alongside the needs of significant family members where there was a strained family dynamic which required careful, coordinated management from both the case management and litigation perspectives in order to proceed in the clients’ best interests.

Karen’s caseload currently includes complex cross-border and international law claims, developing her palate and skills for navigating differing legal, medical, and financial systems. She is minded toward communication and fair but generous settlement, with a forthcoming Joint Settlement Meeting with an estimated value upwards of £7.5 million for a brain injury motorcyclist.

Karen also continues to work alongside Debbie Humphries on her high value serious injury cases, including brain injury.

Karen is recognised as a Recommended Lawyer by the 2025 edition of the Legal 500 which states: ‘Associate Karen Clarke is another notable member of the practice.’
