Profile

Lisa Morgan is a Senior Associate in our Nursing Care Department. She is regarded as an experienced and specialist solicitor leading in the niche area of continuing healthcare. She has acted for hundreds of clients in England and Wales in challenging current and retrospective decisions to refuse NHS funded continuing healthcare to long-term nursing home residents. Her department has successfully recovered over £9 million in wrongly paid nursing fees, as well as savings for the future.

She has been instrumental in developing a niche legal department in Hugh James, which comprises of 16 fee earners who solely act for the elderly and families in recovering wrongly paid nursing fees. She was the lawyer who acted for the family in the publicized Public Services Ombudsman for Wales report criticising Cardiff Local Health Board’s decision not to fund nursing home fees; the family of the late Mrs Marjorie Eyton-Jones, who successfully retrospectively recovered over £165,000 in nursing home fees and Mr Leslie Terry who recovered over £250,000 in nursing home fees.

Lisa lectures widely on the subject of continuing care to professionals and the voluntary sector and is regularly turned to by the media as an expert in the field. She is also supervising solicitor for the award winning Cardiff Law School’s Continuing Healthcare pro bono scheme and a Committee Member for the South Wales’ Solicitors for the Elderly Regional Group.
