We handle cases of the highest value and complexity. We are well known for our work in catastrophic injury cases including birth injury, adult and child brain injury, spinal injury, amputations and fatal accidents/inquests. We take a team approach to these cases, with experienced and junior lawyers combining to ensure the best representation.

We consistently receive praise for our client care (consistently 5 star on Trustpilot); we know clients choose us because of our reputation for putting our clients at the centre of everything we do.
