Biography

I'm a Partner in the Medical Negligence team in Sheffield and Nottingham.

I specialise in clinical negligence claims and inquests and have been practicing in this area of law since 2005.

During this time, I've dealt with a wide range of complex and high value cases, including those involving children who have sustained life-changing injuries following birth, such as cerebral and Erb's palsy. I've also represented people who have suffered brain and spinal injuries due to negligent medical treatment.

I have a special interest in fatal accident claims and inquests, representing bereaved families in the Coroner’s court.

Testimonials

'Tania Harrison is an excellent solicitor and is totally committed to her clients. She works incredibly hard, and I have been very impressed by her attention to detail in cases. She is firm in negotiations, but her excellent client care skills do not prevent her from giving difficult advice when necessary. She is intelligent, enthusiastic, and very able.' - Legal 500, 2025

Overall a very positive experience." - 5* Trustpilot review

Tania & Rebecca have represented our interests with fidelity & staunch determination to achieve a just outcome. They did so with compassionate humanity & much appreciated humour." - 5* Trustpilot review

"They were always kind, courteous, professional, polite, civil, timely, accurate, punctual, friendly, warm, empathetic and profession. But the most important thing for me was they were always there for us no matter when. I never ever felt anything was any trouble for them at any point and I always had the same person to contact. I could not recommend Irwin Mitchell more highly to anyone if you ever have to suffer one of these horrendous life changing events." - 5* Trustpilot review

"From the start I felt at ease with Tania Harrison a very understanding and personal approach. Very sympathetic to what I was going through went out of her way to visit me and make me feel like I could discuss anything not just the case in hand, listened to my every word and never made me feel like nothing wasn't important. The whole team that I have dealt with are very understanding you do not feel like you are just another case, everything is personal and you feel like they become part of your extended family." - 5* Trustpilot review

"I am so glad that I choose to work with Irwin Mitchell. From the outset, Tania Harrison was superb, guiding us through a traumatic inquest process and the subsequent issues which came about as a result of this. She has at all times involved me in every aspect of decision-making, and nothing has been too much trouble for her.

As well as an incredible attention to detail, she has at all times been empathetic and considerate. She has worked incredibly hard to gain the very best outcome for my family; because of this, we have a chance of gaining closure and moving forwards with positivity and hope. I would unreservedly recommend Tania Harrison to anyone having to tread the difficult path of an inquest and beyond." - 5* Trustpilot review

"From the very first meeting with Tania and her team the whole experience has been very smooth and transparent. Tania has been fantastic and I can not speak highly enough of her. She is very understanding and approachable and always there for help and advice. The team she put together was first class and I am over the moon with the outcome for me and my family" - 5* Trustpilot review

What Inspired You To Get Into Law?

I wanted to enter a profession that involved helping people. I’d always had a keen interest in the law and following a period of work experience at a local solicitors practice, I decided that route was for me.

What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?

I often meet individuals at very difficult and distressing times in their lives, whether because of a life changing injury, or the loss of a loved one. Having the chance to secure not just compensation for clients and their families, but also the rehabilitation and support they need going forward makes my job very rewarding. 

What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?

I work with some of the best clinical negligence lawyers in the country, who are dedicated to securing the best possible outcome for their clients.

What Do You Do Away From The Office?

Away from the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.  I have a young football mad son, so I spend a considerable amount of time either watching him play football, or on the terraces at Hillsborough watching Sheffield Wednesday.

I am also a keen traveller and indulge in this past time as often as I can.
