TMLEP

What TMLEP does

TMLEP (legal entity: TMLE Limited) is a UK-headquartered clinical evidence practice founded in 2012 that provides independent medical expert evidence to support litigation, investigations, and complex healthcare matters. The company operates two distinct service routes: Clinical Evidence Services, where clients retain control over expert instruction while TMLEP provides analyst oversight, quality assurance, and secure platform access, and PACLI (Pre-Action Clinical Liability Investigation), a proprietary end-to-end clinical liability investigation service trademarked in the UK where TMLEP manages the entire expert instruction process and integrates multi-disciplinary input into a single coherent evidential output. Underlying technology is a custom-built secure platform designed specifically for medical expert evidence instruction and management, with full encryption in transit and at rest, comprehensive audit trails, and annual penetration testing, certified to ISO 27001:2022 and Cyber Essentials with alignment to NHS DSPT standards.

The business model is professional services with fixed-fee pricing on standard expert reports and managed PACLI investigations. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales through dedicated client relations teams operating from a UK headquarters in Ashford, Kent and a regional office in Melbourne, Australia. Customer segments are deliberately diversified across six verticals: insurers and risk carriers, defendant and claimant law firms, regulators and oversight bodies, police and coronial authorities, and healthcare providers including NHS trusts and private hospital groups. TMLEP leverages a curated network of 2,750+ vetted clinical members overseen by a Clinical Governance Team chaired by Professor Ian Maconochie, and has delivered over 100,000 expert opinions globally with average turnaround of 12 days for standard evidence and 21–31 days for PACLI investigations. The company is privately held with no external funding disclosed and appears to be founderially or management-owned.
