‘Genuine specialists in complex personal injury work.’
‘Jon Gilbert is fantastic - calm, meticulous and tenacious.’
‘Jonathan Gilbert is a forensic and tactically astute partner who is the "go to" choice for Defendant Insurers in the most complex catastrophic injury cases. A pleasure to work with, he has particular expertise in traumatic brain injury cases and severe injuries claims brought on behalf of children, to which he always brings a sensitive and effective approach.’
‘I have worked with the team for a number of years. I have always found that the team undertakes comprehensive analysis of the cases it is instructed on, including detailed consideration of the merits and evidence.'
