ST7 Cardiology Trainee given ARCP Outcome 4 - Drafted an Appeal against the Decision of ARCP Panel on behalf of Cardiology Trainee – Appeal submitted to ARCP Appeal Panel - Appeal accepted and ARCP Outcome 4 overutned to grant ARCP Outone 3 - December 2918
'I sought Dr Rosanna Cooper’s legal expertise with only 4 days left to appeal an ARCP Outcome 4. Within 48 hours we had a marathon face to face discovery meeting to ascertain the facts for my appeal. Her considered methodology in the preparation of this appeal was thorough and instructive, helped by her knowledge of the process. Her objective insightful approach was critical and culminated in a first class appeal document which she prepared and I reviewed then submitted on time. I was extremely delighted that my appeal was upheld. My subsequent outcome 3 gave me the opportunity to focus on salvaging my clinical career. On reflection, I was fortunate to have found her Law firm - RT Coopers. Dr Cooper’s tenacity was what I needed and her perseverance is remarkable. I highly recommend and hold in great esteem this talented, experienced Solicitor. 5 Star'. SA, ST7
Settlement Agreement Negotiations with Successful Outcome - November 2018
'Firstly I give your firm a 5-star rating. I’d like to thank RT Coopers for the excellent work the firm did in dealing with my settlement agreement recently. In the past I have never particularly liked having to deal with lawyers, however I was pleasantly surprised by the professional and friendly service I received from the settlement agreement lawyer. Even though I engaged RT Coopers relatively close to the date my settlement agreement was due, my lawyer still managed to fit me into her busy schedule without being critical of the relatively tight time window I presented the firm with. The settlement agreement lawyer did a very thorough job in going through and explaining all the documents my company had given me. She also alerted me about potential options I had not been aware of before engaging RT Coopers. In short, I would like to thank the settlement agreement lawyer at RT Coopers again for the sterling work she did for me. I give the firm my highest recommendation all round. This is definitely a 5-star firm!' AW

The firm is very thorough and I was amazed at the amount of research they put into it. I was also amazed at her willingness to adopt to my approach despite her recommendations. I did realize her wisdom at some point and completely surrendered to her counsel, and I am glad I did.

ARCP: Testimonial from K.E ST6 T&O - September 2018
ST6 Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery (T&O) Trainee given ARCP Outcome 4 - Drafted an Appeal against the Decision of ARCP Panel on behalf of T&O Trainee – Appeal submitted to ARCP Appeal Panel – Drafted Statement for ARCP Appeal Panel Hearing – Representation at ARCP Panel Hearing - Following successful Appeal, T&O Trainee received ARCP Outcome 3 - September 2018
‘The firm is very professional and approachable, Rosanna is happy to be contacted out of working hours which allows you to talk in a confidential manner. I had a meeting with her in her office and subsequent Skype meetings and several telephone conversations. She even spoke to one of my consultants who was supportive to obtain feedback and an action plan. Rosanna even got me in touch with a couple of her previous clients for advice and support. She will give an honest opinion if she feels you have a good case and will let you know if you are unrealistic about your expectations.
Rosanna helped me challenge my appeal for an outcome 4 in my ARCP and mentored me to develop myself and thought process to gain extreme ownership in my training and actions. She drafted an appeal and a statement for the request for an appeal and almost 120 page document for the appeal panel, which we worked on together. I felt that she was dedicated and committed to achieving the deadlines and she walked the extra mile. I was grateful for Rosanna having to re-shuffle some of her commitments in order to attend the appeal hearing with me. Even when I got my desired outcome she was still in contact to make sure I am moving forward. My grounds of appeal were late diagnosis of dyslexia that was not taken into account, having had surgery that was causing anxiety, bullying, cultural barrier and the deanery not following the correct procedures. I would strongly recommend the services of RT Coopers’. K.E ST6 T&O

'I am a director of 7 Of The Best Ltd, a relatively new online sporting game about to enter its third full year of operation. Over the course of the game’s development and substantial growth in player numbers I have used RT Coopers extensively (notably working with Matthew), including seeking specialist advice on gambling legislation, all aspects of our firm’s terms and conditions and privacy policy, and most recently on our approach to dealing with the introduction of GDPR. In all these dealings I have been impressed by the depth of specialist knowledge available to me, and by the professional yet friendly and cooperative way our legal challenges and (sometimes no doubt naive) questions have been handled. I should also add that I have in an unrelated professional capacity been fortunate enough to work with a number of excellent corporate solicitors, and RT Coopers matches them in every respect. Finally, I should add that I have been struck by Matthew’s ability to quickly grasp the fundamentals of our business. This has hugely facilitated our numerous discussions and made every minute count. I’d give RT Coopers a 5-star rating'. Angus Stewart, Director, 7 Of The Best Ltd

'It has been a pleasure to work with RT Coopers. In their handling of my case, I was met with compassion and true dedication to ensuring that I received the best possible outcome. Rosanna went above and beyond in her work, liaising with me frequently and ensuring that all work was completed to the highest standard. From my experience with the firm, it is evident that RT Coopers is a well run, professional organisation. Their team are friendly and helpful and provide genuine, honest advice. In all matters pertaining to higher education law, I do not believe that there is a firm better equipped to handle student cases or concerns.
I am so thankful for all the work RT Coopers have completed for me. The outcome I received as a consequence of their hard work is more than I could have hoped for. As the head of the firm, Dr Rosanna Cooper is an outstanding solicitor. Her dedication, intellect and compassion are second to none. Throughout her dealings with my case, I was assured, knowing that she was fully devoted to my cause. Given that students invest both emotionally and financially in their education, matters pertaining to higher education law can deem daunting at first. However, with RT Coopers, students can rest assured that their future is in safe hands. After what has been a stressful few months, I am now confident in the knowledge that my future is bright, and that I am fully vindicated with the resolution of my case'. Zoey
Complaint to the OIA as student dissatisfied with Degree Classification - Assisted with Complaint - The OIA has made recommendations to the University to reconsider Degree Classification - June 2018
‘I contacted Rosanna Cooper to help me with my son's case against his university on his degree classification to the OIA. From the first telephone conversation Rosanna was very helpful and honest about the nature of the case.
She was thorough, fair and transparent in providing assistance during the application process to the OIA. She worked over the weekend at short notice to meet the deadline. The OIA realised that important aspects discovered by Rosanna, about my son’s case were ignored during the University’s appeal process. I cannot thank her enough for her expertise and professionalism which ensured a highly satisfactory decision by the OIA in my son’s favour. The OIA has made recommendations to the university to reconsider his degree classification. More

ARCP: Testimonial from Dr WM - February 2018
GP ST2 given ARCP Outcome 4 - Drafted an Appeal against the Decision of ARCP Panel on behalf of Trainee GP – Appeal submitted to ARCP Appeal Panel - Following successful Appeal, Trainee GP received ARCP Outcome 3
'Dr Rosanna Cooper has been a fantastic guide and support through the cruelling Appeal process. I had gone through the ARCP Appeal and Review stages myself with advice from the BMA. I only involved Rosanna when it came to the preparation for the Independent Appeal. I regret not involving her earlier. Rosanna took my raw Appeal and in the course of a mammoth telephone and Skype conversation guided me through many alterations and improvements that would be necessary. Her knowledge in this area is superior to any other advisor I tried. After I had incorporated all her suggestions the Appeal documentation made a huge leap in its professionalism. She then kindly worked on it solidly over a full weekend to meet the deadline. What she was able to suggest and craft, from my draft, made the conclusions and summary rock solid. She displayed a level of care and interest in my case that was unsurpassed. I wholeheartedly recommend her and the firm, 5 stars'. Dr W.M
