Read moreNick is an Associate in the Medical Negligence Department.
Nick graduated from the University of Nottingham with a first-class degree in politics in 2012 before completing the GDL and LPC with distinction at the University of Law in London. He completed his training contract with Osbornes Law, qualifying into the Medical Negligence Department in September 2019.
Nick has experience in a wide range of medical negligence claims including:
Surgical error;
Delayed diagnosis of cancer;
Orthopaedic claims/nerve injury;
Wrongful birth;
Obstetrics and gynaecology;
Stillbirth; and
Accident and Emergency.
Nick also regularly acts for families at inquests and is able to advise on all aspects of fatal cases. Many of Nick’s cases are complex medical negligence cases that require evidence from multiple medical experts from a range of disciplines.
Nick prides himself on the high level of client care he provides. He is able to deal with often extremely sensitive and distressing matters with professionalism and strives to ensure that the legal process is made as stress-free as possible for his clients. Nick has experience in dealing with medical negligence cases from the pre-action/investigation stage and through litigation, all the way to trial. Nick also regularly represents his clients at Joint Settlement Meetings, interim court hearings and mediations.
Nick regularly attends conferences with AvMA and APIL and has written publications for both of these organisations. In 2020 Nick contributed to the most recent APIL Personal Injury Law, Practice and Precedents Looseleaf publication. Nick has also written articles for LexisNexis and The Law Society Gazette. He is an APIL approved Litigator.
In the 2020 edition of the Legal 500, Nick was named “the name to note for successfully settling misdiagnosis and A&E cases”. The 2023 edition described Nick as someone who “works extremely hard and understands the commercial sensitivities of clinical negligence litigation.”
Nick is currently training to become a Solicitor Advocate which will give him Higher Rights of Audience. He will complete this qualification in August 2023.
In his spare time, Nick enjoys marathon running, reading and travelling.
"Nicholas Leahy works extremely hard and understands the commercial sensitivities of clinical negligence litigation."
Excellent service from Osbornes throughout on a difficult clinical negligence claim. Nicholas Leahy who handled the claim was responsive and professional throughout, while also providing pragmatic advice and clear drafting.
Working with Osbornes Law was the best decision I could have made. Nick was really attentive to my issue and did a very thorough job. He truly made the process headache free! Highly recommend them.
Nick Leahy has been my Solicitor throughout this journey and has been absolutely amazing; kind, approachable and extremely supportive... Through some dogged determination by Nick we achieved our goal without having to go to trial. I cannot thank Nick, Stephanie and all of the team at Osbornes highly enough for achieving a very favourable settlement, the outcome of which will make a huge difference to myself and my family.
