DWF

A core presence in major loss and casualty defence work, DWF’s personal injury defendant team is recognised for its deep bench and technical expertise in high-value litigation across motor, public, and employer’s liability. Led by Steven King and Dan Mitchell, the team manages a consistent caseload of complex brain, spinal, and psychiatric injury claims, often involving cross-border or multi-party elements. Claire Bowler is regularly instructed in catastrophic motor claims and strategic litigation across Europe, while Graham Dickinson brings decades of experience in the defence of sensitive, high-stakes claims. Seema Bains acts across a broad swathe of employer liability mandates, while Sara-Jane Eaton handles international claims and complex jurisdictional issues. Rhys Sanchez advises insurers, brokers, and corporates on liability and quantum disputes, acting for both domestic and international clients. John Lezemore leads on chronic pain litigation, and Michelle Knapp is a key figure in large loss work involving composite insurer clients. Adela Carrasco is noted for her growing profile in serious casualty and public liability matters.
