Specialist personal injury law firm Novum Law has strengthened its team in Bristol with the appointment of associate solicitor Sabeena Pirooz.
Sabeena, pictured, joins following a period of significant growth in demand for the firm’s expert medical negligence legal advice and support. 
Sabeena qualified as a solicitor in 2011 and has more than 15 years’ personal injury and litigation experience, specialising in complex injuries and high-value medical negligence compensation claims.
She previously worked at Thompsons Solicitors in Bristol as a clinical negligence solicitor.
Sabeena has extensive experience dealing with a range of medical negligence claims, including birth injures, spinal injuries, orthopaedic claims, surgical errors, misdiagnosis claims and hospital-acquired infection claims.
She is also very committed to charity and pro bono work and is director of The Sky Project, a Bristol charity actively working to reduce the number of forced marriages in the South West by providing awareness-raising training.
Her important work with The Sky Project won her the Bristol Law Society’s Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year Award in 2016, while last year she was a finalist at the national Next 100 Years Inspirational Women in Law Awards in London
Novum Law associate legal director Mary Smith, who heads the personal injury and medical negligence team in Bristol, said: “I am delighted that Sabeena has joined us to bolster our medical negligence and personal injury offering in Bristol and throughout the South West.
