Biography
I'm a Senior Associate in the Medical Negligence team, based in Irwin Mitchell’s London office. I joined the firm in 2008.
I studied Law at the University of Birmingham before completing the Legal Practice Course at the College of Law. I am also accredited as a Senior Litigator with the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
I have a diverse caseload of medical law claims, including cases of negligent misdiagnosis, surgery and delays in referral. I represent families who have been bereaved as a result of substandard medical practice and I also have a special interest in cosmetic surgery cases, regularly advising on the outcome of surgeries including breast surgery, rhinoplasty and abdominoplasty.
I take ownership of cases at the earliest stage, with an immediate emphasis on securing rehabilitation for those clients in need, where interim funding is available. I strive to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients and pursue cases against NHS Trusts, GPs and medical professionals in private practice.
Client Testimonials
“I could not be happier and more impressed with the professionalism in handling my case. From the beginning I felt I had made the right choice in contacting IM for my case, trusting in the skills and professionalism shown by Marcos and his team. I had no past experience in law cases, but Marcos was so very informative at every stage of the process, explaining and clarifying the things we were required to do, and why. Any barriers I came across in the case, Marcos was fantastic at providing all of the support required as a professional and I never doubted him in fighting for my legal rights. I could not have more respect for Marcos as a professional in his job.”– 5* Trustpilot review

"Marcos demonstrated empathy and handled the rather sensitive subject matter of my case extremely professionally. He was warm, personable and confident, and realistic about our potential throughout. He believed in our argument from day one, and pushed forward when others disagreed. I'll always be grateful that I found him, he helped me close an emotionally devastating chapter of my life, and the funds received upon my settlement helped me to move forward."-5* Trustpilot review
"Marcos was extremely professional, open yet at the same time came across as very humane, understanding, very tactful and empathetic. All through the process he had been there for me and my family never tiring of explaining each and every step along the way, never pushing but guiding us along. Always there when we needed him, always ready to help and support. Marcos and his team had gone an extra mile and more to represent our interest in this case and needless to say the claim was settled more and beyond what we have hoped for. We are forever grateful to Marcos Eleftheriou and Irwin Mitchel's team for being there for us at this most difficult moment in our life."-5* Trustpilot review
