This practice is seen as “an important player locally, with some
brilliant staff who consistently deliver quality work.” Best known
for its expertise in cases arising from road accidents, the firm
reports considerable growth in the number of employer and public
liability claims it has handled within the past year. The lawyers
provide diverse language abilities in support of their
multi-jurisdictional litigation work, with referrals for such cases
coming in from international insurers and other law firms. The team
is led by Alison McClure.

With six offices in the south and south West, this firm is a
heavyweight in the region. This position is strengthened by its
recent merger with local PI firm White & Bowker. Interviewees
applaud the team's skill in the field: "Everything they do they do
well." The team has particular expertise in maximum severity head
cases. This expertise was recently utilised when it won a £1.42
million case for an individual who sustained injuries after falling
down an unguarded lift shaft. The firm also handles a large amount
of road traffic accident cases and has accordingly developed a
specialist motorcycle accident unit.
