Expert and empathetic We are dedicated to helping clients and families whose lives have been affected by personal injury and medical negligence.

Team around the client

We build a legal team around each client – a team that will take the time to get to know our clients and their loved ones personally and guide them through the often daunting process of pursuing a compensation claim.

We develop life-long relationships with many of our clients, setting up and administering trusts and deputyships to manage their compensation awards, working closely with individuals and their families to ensure their needs are met now and in the future.

We work collaboratively with case managers, medics, therapists and other professionals to create a multi-disciplinary team around every client, where this approach applies. We

I don’t think most people do, so it was good having someone who was professional and efficient as well as someone who looked after me in so many ways."

often help to arrange a bespoke rehabilitation package which is tailored to a client’s individual needs – and which, in many cases, is funded by the defendant insurer.
