Tony Wiseman, Director
Clinical Negligence Litigation
Personal Injury Litigation
tony@wisemanwingate.com
Tony Wiseman is one of the country’s most experienced senior litigators in his field. With a career spanning almost 30 years, he has handled a wide range of multi-million pound clinical negligence claims with outcomes that have transformed the lives of his clients. In many cases, the defendants have denied liability all the way to final settlement. He is driven by personal experience of living as a family with disabilities and is passionate about disability rights.
A qualified solicitor since 1990, Tony spent many years as a partner in some of the country’s leading law firms before establishing Wiseman Wingate with Rebecca Wingate in 2016, as he believed he could provide a more comprehensive service than is provided by many clinical negligence law firms. He is a member of a select group of lawyers who are part of The Law Society Clinical Negligence Accreditation Scheme.
“My considerable experience covers a wide range of clinical negligence and accident claims. I have dealt with claims where the client has suffered serious, life-changing injuries. Quite often, the nature of the injuries has significantly reduced quality of life for the client and their family. My task is to obtain a level of financial compensation that, as far as possible, restores quality of life for the client and their family, for the rest of the client’s life.
I provide clear and unambiguous advice to my clients taking a holistic approach to each case – seeking not just compensation for injuries suffered but also for the effects on the client and their families.”

Rebecca qualified as a solicitor in 2014.
Rebecca has worked in Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence for 10 years and has experience in working with a wide range of matters from road traffic accidents, accident and work, public liability claims and claims against medical professionals.
Rebecca also now serves as a professional deputy for many successful Claimants, as well as helping private clients deal with court of protection, wills, trusts and probate.
“I’m very much a ‘people person’. I have been appointed as a deputy by the Court of Protection to manage the personal welfare and sometimes the property of many clients who, often as a result of serious injuries, have reduced mental capacity to manage these decisions themselves. Acting as a deputy means you are part of the lives of your clients for a long time. I focus on developing a deep professional friendship based on trust, acting in the client’s best interests, and remaining approachable at all times.”
