Lawyer Rankings
London > Insurance > Personal injury: claimant
The personal injury team at Stewarts Law LLP is made up of ‘first-class litigators who get excellent results for their clients‘. The firm acts for clients with life-changing injuries in exclusively complex claims worth over £1m; such cases often involve brain or spinal cord injuries, as well as losses of limb, severe burns, severe orthopaedic injuries and severe neurological injuries. The team also has a dedicated international injury offering. Team lead Dan Herman works across the London and Leeds offices, and is ‘proving to be exceptional’ in the role. The team is building a ‘collaborative approach’ with insurers to better progress early rehabilitation services for clients; Charles Edwards
has been central in developing protocols with various insurers to this effect. This focus on rehabilitation for clients is also evident in Ben Rogers‘ work with technology developed to assist injured people. Lucy Robinson has notable expertise in cases involving brain injury, spinal cord injury and amputation, and is singled out by a client as ‘one of the best all-round PI lawyers there is’. Managing partner Stuart Dench continues to be an active presence within the team.
