Natalie Cosgrove

Partner at Ashtons Legal

Natalie acts for families and individuals who have suffered baby loss and catastrophic injury as a consequence of substandard maternity and neonatal care. Natalie also has a specialist interest in mental health and the effect that grief, loss and trauma has following negligence.

Natalie joined the firm in 2022, having practised for over a decade as a specialist clinical negligence lawyer. More recently, Natalie has gained national attention for her work with many families in Nottingham and the surrounding area who have received substandard maternity care.

Natalie worked with The Independent Newspaper and Channel 4 News to bring the failures in care of many families whom she represented to national attention. She has since appeared on major news networks to discuss failures in maternity care in Nottingham and other areas in the UK. Natalie also worked with BBC Panorama in 2021 in relation to their investigation of maternity care in Doncaster and continues to do so.

As a consequence of this work, in 2021, Natalie was named Clinical Negligence Lawyer of the Year at the Personal Injury Awards and Clinical Negligence Lawyer of the Year at the Sheffield and District Law Society Awards in 2022.

Natalie regularly teaches for APIL and for MBL, as well as providing pro bono training for NHS England and other NHS bodies and rehabilitation units.
