About Natalie

I specialise in medical negligence, helping adults or children who have suffered complex and avoidable injuries, or even death, because a medical practitioner has breached their duty of care.

This includes claims where adults or children have suffered serious neurological injury (such as brain or spinal damage), complex orthopaedic injuries, or significant organ damage because of delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment.

I also handle claims involving failure to diagnose or late diagnosis of cancer and surgical errors.

In association with Haemochromatosis UK, I specialise in helping those who have suffered serious complications following a late diagnosis of genetic haemochromatosis.

I am passionate about securing compensation and improving the quality of life for claimants who have suffered life-changing injuries because of the negligence of others. I want my clients to feel heard and for them to fully understand what can be a complex area of law. That means I always take time to explain the legal jargon, leaving my clients reassured and confident that they can hand over any stress about the process to me! I have a keen eye for detail and will leave no stone unturned to get the best results for my clients.

I am an accredited Senior Litigator at the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

Outside of work, I enjoy family life with my partner and our young child, and all things music related!

Don’t take our word for it…

Natalie and the team at Moore Barlow have been fantastic. They have been incredibly honest and open about the process, which helped us prepare and make a more informed decision about how we move forward. Their sensitivity throughout has been greatly appreciated and I highly recommend them.

Medical negligence client

From the time I had my first conversation, I felt I was in good hands. Natalie has pursued my claim and advised me to push on even when I felt somewhat disinclined. I am very grateful to her for all her advice and support throughout.

Medical negligence client

Natalie really helped me through a difficult time dealing with all aspects of my case. I wasn’t very keen to pursue it initially because of the complexity but she gave me plenty of support. I really wanted to know what exactly happened during my surgery…the chances of knowing were slim, but with the help of Natalie we got some clarity on what may have happened. It ended with a great result and I was very pleased. Natalie really pushes to get results and she has proven me wrong when initially I was hesitant in pursuing the case! Thanks for everything you did Natalie, [this] meant a lot.

Medical negligence client

Natalie Hirst did her very best for us throughout the whole lengthy process. Her attention to detail was exceptional and she was very patient and helpful in obtaining all the information that she needed from us which was quite extensive. She researched our son’s injury and surgery and we feel that she went over and above to achieve the best possible outcome for us. Thank you!

Medical negligence client

Natalie Hirst was excellent in my case, keeping me updated and informed every step of the way and was always happy to talk to me about any queries I had. Nothing ever seemed too much for her to help me with through the process. I would recommend her to friends and family.

Medical negligence client

Natalie listened to me and took me and my pain seriously. She was attentive and prompt throughout. Natalie got me an apology and recognition of my suffering because she understood my story.

Medical negligence client

Natalie Hirst was my main point of contact. I still feel embarrassed for crying on the phone the first day of our conversation. She helped us throughout this process in the best possible manner. I can’t thank Natalie and her team enough for holding the GP accountable for negligence and hopefully it will prevent this from happening to someone else in the future.

Medical negligence client

Natalie Hirst is an excellent lawyer, realistic and pragmatic. She gives clear advice to clients and is empathetic with their problems.
