Niall Costello

Niall, a member of the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel, is an acknowledged expert in fields of clinical negligence and serious injury, with more than a decade of experience acting on a full range of complex clinical negligence cases on behalf of both adults and children, including sepsis, brain injury, spinal injuries and injuries sustained during birth.

In recent years he has developed a well-deserved reputation for his knowledge and expertise in cases where there has been a delay, or a failure to diagnose, cancer, often resulting in a fatality, and in orthopaedic cases where there has been a delay, or failure to diagnose an injury, often resulting in the client suffering permanent disability.

“These are cases where the central tragedy is that the outcome was entirely avoidable,” says Niall. “That’s why clients want someone who will fight for them, have their back, and help them, and their families, move forward with their lives.”

Niall is appreciated by his clients not just for his tenacity and deep knowledge of clinical negligence, but also for his empathetic and sensitive attitude, and is often praised for his clear advice and meticulous approach to cases.

A solicitor advocate, he represents clients and their families in court hearings and inquests and is acknowledged to be a highly effective litigator; he is also qualified to practice as a solicitor not only in England and Wales but also Northern Ireland.  Over his career he has achieved millions of pounds in settlements and is tireless in his determination to deliver the best possible outcome for his clients.
