Lester Aldridge is delighted to announce that Melanie Lidstone-Land, a Senior Associate in our Personal Injury team, has been awarded Accredited Senior Litigator status by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

This accreditation is testament to Melanie’s extensive expertise, dedication, and commitment to achieving justice for her clients. APIL accreditation is highly regarded within the legal profession, signifying not only a high level of skill and knowledge but also adherence to APIL’s rigorous standards for ongoing legal training and development.

APIL Chief Executive Mike Benner comments on the APIL accreditation: “Being injured through negligence is never planned for and many victims feel vulnerable and uncertain about the future. The APIL accreditation logo lets injured people and their families know that they are in the very safest hands and that their lawyers are dedicated to getting their lives back on track.

“APIL members who are awarded accredited status must demonstrate expertise and experience and be up-to-date with the latest legal training and developments in the law.

“As an organisation, we are committed to driving excellence in the personal injury sector and fighting for prompt and fair redress for victims of negligence. APIL has been doing this for over thirty years and is the trusted voice of injured people. Negligence can happen to anyone, so it is worth remembering that an APIL accreditation logo is the one to look for if you are ever injured and believe it could and should have been prevented.”

Melanie specialises in representing individuals who have suffered life-changing injuries, including clinical negligence, and helping them navigate the complex legal process and secure the compensation and support they need to rebuild their lives.

Reflecting on her accreditation, Melanie said: “I am grateful to receive APIL’s Senior Litigator accreditation.  I believe that this reflects my commitment to helping injured people access justice and rebuild their lives after injury and trauma. This recognition inspires me to continue advocating for those who need support the most and ensuring they receive the best possible outcomes.”
