Areas of Expertise:

Faruk Tinaz is a Solicitor within our Medical Negligence department. He is based in London. 

Professional biography 

Faruk supports people who have experienced harm as a result of medical treatment, taking the time to understand what happened and how it has affected their everyday lives, their families, and their future. He recognises that clients may be dealing with pain, disability, loss of independence or emotional distress alongside the legal process, so he places importance on being approachable, keeping them informed and making sure they feel listened to throughout their claim. 

As part of his role, Faruk reviews medical records and investigates the treatment and care his clients received, working with independent medical experts to understand whether the care provided fell below an acceptable standard and whether this caused or contributed to their injury. He also communicates with hospitals, insurers and other solicitors, progressing claims and working towards securing appropriate compensation and, where possible, answers about what happened. 

Faruk has experience across a wide range of Medical Negligence claims, including those involving birth injuries, spinal injuries, delayed or missed cancer diagnoses and other serious and life-changing injuries. He has worked in claimant Medical Negligence since 2017 and has over nine years’ experience in the field, having progressed from a paralegal to a solicitor and developed experience across each stage of a claim. 

Educational background 

Faruk completed a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at London South Bank University before completing the Legal Practice Course (LPC) at the University of Law. He was admitted as a solicitor on 24 July 2024.
