Main Areas Of Practice
Defendant Litigation for Local Authorities: Highways Claims
Claims against local authorities are increasing. Our Defendant Litigation team has an established history of working with local authorities, providing expert guidance in all aspects of highways law, including rights of way, and handling claims within the legal minefield of the commonly perceived "pothole" claims, slips and trips.
Defendant Litigation: Personal Injury
Our expert litigators have decades of experience in defending personal injury claims of all value and complexity, from highways slips and trips to fatal accident claims, public liability and employers' liability claims, including industrial disease. We offer a commercial focus to clients in an era of change in the way that personal injury claims are handled.
Defendant Litigation: Property Damage, Subsidence and Tree Root damage
Our expert team offers a service in a niche market, providing advice and legal services in all aspects of civil litigation: Road Traffic Accident (RTA) claims. We act on behalf of clients defending RTA claims, be they accident damage only or injury claims caused in road traffic accidents.
