Civitas Law is praised by solicitors for having "strength in depth" and "experienced counsel." The team is regularly instructed in catastrophic injury and fatal claims, and members act on behalf of both claimants and defendants. Additional areas of strength for the set's barristers include RTAs, complex employers' and public liability claims and industrial disease litigation. Members of the set have been instructed recently on matters including amputation, traumatic brain injury and spinal fractures. Its members recently acted on a matter involving a prison officer attacked at work. Danielle Smith and Matthew Goodwill are the practice managers.
