Biography
I am a Senior Associate Solicitor in the Serious Injury team. I proactively manage a varied caseload of complex, high value cases to settlement. I am client focused and use my interpersonal skills to build effective working relationships with clients, colleagues and other professionals.
My main objective is to ensure that my clients have the best treatment and rehabilitation available to them in order to improve their chances of returning to a fulfilling life. I achieve this by looking at various issues including care, therapies, treatment, equipment, housing, transport and employment and ensure that all of my client’s needs are considered in respect of each of these issues.
The biggest case I have settled is for £17 million. In every case I endeavour to maximise my client's rehabilitation potential in order to ensure they get the best quality of life.

"I have nothing but praise. She took time to get to know each of us which put us both at ease at what was a very tense and vulnerable time. Hema made sure that all of my fears and misunderstandings were dealt with in a professional yet very personal way. She was with us from the beginning up to the recovery of damages. I would thoroughly recommend this reputable company and especially the service above and beyond from Hema Rana." – Carole Mattison, client's mother

She was always approachable, and regardless of how busy she was, eager to explain anything we were unsure about. I can honestly state we were very fortunate that she picked up our case, because I don't believe anyone could have worked harder and reached the outcome that she did. I know she fought our case above and beyond what was expected and my daughter and I are truly grateful. I would definitely recommend this law firm and highly recommend Hema Rana." – Deborah Moran-Sugden, client
