Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The Firm is one of the leading players in bringing claims for damages for personal injuries caused by non-recent sexual abuse. They bring particular expertise in what is a very challenging area of the law, not least because of the fact that their clients are equally traumatised by their experiences often with many years of psychiatric injury.'
  • ‘Bespoke, client focused but expert team. This firm would is my first port of call if someone asks me for a recommendation. At Russell-Cooke the partners are closely involved in all the work and you feel you are getting a personalised service.’
