About

Provided by Irwin Mitchell

We were recognised as the PI team of the year, and Law Firm of the Year, at the Cambridgeshire Law Society awards in April 2022.

We remain in a unique position in the PI market in East Anglia in combining our services in Medical Negligence/ Complex Serious injury with dedicated teams with expertise in military claims, mesothelioma claims and complementary legal support from Court of Protection and public law/education/welfare specialists.  

Our clients provide strong positive feedback. We invite clients to provide feedback via Trustpilot and many reviews for Cambridge teams are 5 star (out of 5)

We are a leading provider of brain, spinal, amputee and other serious injury services with expertise in handling complex accident claims. We pursue the most challenging of cases and take on work that other solicitors may not be able to resource or take risks on.

We have a rehabilitation policy to ensure that our clients benefit from early support and continue to provide our clients with a locally based Support and Rehabilitation Co-ordinator who works with our personal injury clients to secure support and signpost them to education and health specialists.
