The ‘absolutely outstanding’ Ameer Meredith Solicitors has a consistent success rate in complex, high-value cases, including a £6.6m Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) case and severe brain and spinal injury claims. Yasmin Ameer’s ‘total dedication, commitment and passion make her among the best’.
Ashton KCJ’s ‘well-chosen team’ provides ‘thoroughness and good judgement’, and in 2011 acted in a large claim for a client left paraplegic in a motorcycle accident. Ruth Booy ‘explains things in plain English’; Simon Davis is ‘very helpful’; Robert Gair has ‘integrity and values’; and Hannah Rutterford is ‘proactive, extremely intelligent, and compassionate’.
Taylor Vinters ‘clearly gives excellent service to clients, and goes to great lengths to pursue claims’. ‘Tough litigator’ Paul Tapner ‘runs a very efficient operation’, and brain injury specialist Emma Truin is ‘completely dedicated to her clients’. The ‘sensible and effective’ Angela Beric and Mick Upton, who ‘leaves no stone unturned’, are also recommended. The firm recently secured a £368,000 award for a client in a CICA claim.
Stephen Green’s team at Fosters is prized for its ‘sound judgement from first-class lawyers’, and recently acted in a £22,750 injury claim. The ‘amazingly caring and helpful’ Heather Duffy and Paul Kirby are also recommended.
Hansells ranks highly for the damages and PI work of Lin Whitehead, who is supported by Pamela Hoare and Shelyna Mariscal.
Scrivenger Seabrook Solicitors is ‘a credit to the industry’ for maximum-severity claims. ‘One of the best in the area’, Marc Folgate ‘has tactical nous, and is really good with clients, and very astute at pre-empting the opposition’s moves’.
Roger Clarke heads Buckles Solicitors LLP’s ‘thoroughly reliable’ team, which includes the ‘very approachable’ Martin Herson, who has ‘good judgement and works incredibly hard’. Recent cases include a £1m claim for complex regional pain syndrome following a foot fracture.
At Gotelee Solicitors, the ‘outstanding and thoughtful’ Tim Humpage secured a £600,000 settlement for the loss of a leg in an accident on a ship; and Sian Mullane acted in a £3m CICA claim for non-accidental injury as a baby.
Hegarty LLP’s Sean Rowcliffe acted in a £500,000 claim for head injuries following a road traffic accident, and settled two further £250,000-plus claims for hip and back injuries. The firm has ties with accident management company Opus Claim Solutions.
Hunt & Coombs Solicitors’ team is led by the ‘highly skilled’ David Heming, who runs ‘a team capable of handling the most difficult matters’, and was recently appointed a coroner. In 2011 the firm assisted in obtaining a £70,000 settlement concerning a fall from scaffolding.
Metcalfe, Copeman & Pettefar’s Ben Dures excels in RTA and employers’ liability claims. Sarah Adlam is recommended for serious RTA claims.
Rogers and Norton’s Mark Hambling continues to go ‘from strength to strength’ in employers’ liability, public liability and RTA claims, and recently handled a substantial matter involving physical and psychological injury.
Birketts LLP’s Richard Hayes leads a small but experienced team advising on everything from minor RTAs to serious sports injury and industrial disease claims.
A member of brain injury association Headway and accredited by APIL, Cozens-Hardy LLP stands out for brain injury claims thanks to Damian Short and Jane Gilbert. The firm recently handled several RTA and employers’ liability claims exceeding £1m.
Hatch Brenner LLP’s team is ‘excellent on all counts, and gives clients no false illusions’. It recently secured three six-figure settlements for traumatic brain injury. Rosemary Escott is a member of the Law Society PI panel, and ‘has profound knowledge and good people skills’.
Morgan Jones & Pett’s David Jones is ‘top notch’ for PI work in Norwich, particularly serious RTA claims, and recently secured a £9.2m award.
Steeles Law LLP’s Christopher Moore combines ‘compassion, drive and determination’. The ‘cost-effective’ team is ‘always on hand to help’, and acted in a complex mesothelioma claim for a shipyard worker.
Led by David Jacobs, Tees Solicitors’ team is ‘incredibly professional and reliable’. The ‘organised, quick and thorough’ Paul Taylor successfully represented a cyclist who suffered severe brain injury in a collision.
At serious injury specialist Comer Crawley, the ‘client-friendly and down-to-earth’ Ian Comer and Emma Crawley, both on the Headway and Spinal Injuries Association panels, settled two multimillion-pound claims for spinal injury in 2011.
At Fowler de Pledge, ‘highly experienced PI lawyer’ Andrew Fowler, a deputy district judge, remains a popular choice.
Fraser Dawbarns added to its team ‘experienced professionals’ Neil John, who was at Ward Gethin prior to its merger, and Janet Norris. Coroner William Morris and qualified barrister Steve McGregor are recommended.
Godfrey Morgan Solicitors Limited has ‘outstanding litigators, extremely sensitive and patient’. The firm recently led a £60,000 asbestosis claim against Ford Motor Company. Penny Horne is recommended for complex RTA and accident at work claims.
At Greene & Greene, APIL-accredited Michael Batty is noted for good client care in complex, multi-track claims.

Supreme Court provides guidance on forum conveniens and piercing the corporate veil
Macfarlanes LLP currently authors the Litigation & Dispute Resolution section of The In-House Lawyer magazine. For more information and articles from this author click here . This article considers the Supreme Court decision in VTB Capital plc v Nutritek International Corp & or s [2013]. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the case is that it casts doubt on the notion that the Court has the power to pierce the corporate veil. The Supreme Court also held that, even if the power to pierce the corporate veil does exist, it does not enable a claimant to hold parties that control a company jointly and severally liable under contracts entered into by that company.
