Catastrophic injury settlement
Spinal injury at work. Settled at the door of the court after four years.
Advocates & counsel since 1994
Strong advocacy.Published results.
We take fewer matters than firms our size and we tell you at the first meeting whether yours is one we should take. That conversation is free and it is not a sales call.

Six areas. Nothing outside them.
If your matter falls outside this list we will say so at the first call and refer you to someone who does it properly. We would rather lose the instruction than learn on your case.
Catastrophic injury, workplace accidents and clinical negligence. We fund these on a conditional basis, which means our interests and yours are genuinely aligned.
- No fee unless we recover
- Independent medical panel, not an in-house one
- Interim payments pursued from week one
Contract, shareholder and supply-chain litigation for companies between ten and four hundred employees. We are not a magic-circle firm and our fees reflect that.
- Fixed-fee scoping before any commitment
- Mediation attempted in every matter
- Monthly cost forecasts, always in writing
Separation, financial remedy and child arrangements. Handled by two solicitors who do nothing else, with a collaborative route offered before any application is issued.
- Collaborative and mediated routes first
- Fixed fee for the first three stages
- Evening and weekend appointments
Wills, trusts, probate and contested estates. Straightforward drafting at a fixed price, and contentious probate handled by our litigation team rather than passed outside.
- Fixed-price wills and lasting powers
- Free storage and one review every five years
- Contested estates run in-house
Both sides of the table, though never in the same matter. Unfair dismissal, discrimination, settlement agreements and tribunal advocacy.
- Same-week settlement agreement review
- Tribunal advocacy by our own counsel
- Employer retainers from £480 a month
Residential and commercial conveyancing, landlord and tenant, boundary and easement disputes. Every file has a named solicitor and a named assistant you can reach directly.
- Quoted to completion, not to exchange
- Direct dial to your solicitor, not a switchboard
- Boundary disputes surveyed before advising

“The first thing we tell a new client is what their case is worth, and the second is what it will cost to get there. Both numbers are usually smaller than they expected, and we would rather say so in week one than in year three.”Senior Partner
