Based in Sheffield, Irwin Mitchell is highly engaged in group claims against manufacturers, which often ends in advising the client on product recall. In addition, lawyers are well-versed in individual claims and healthcare regulations following such claims. As well as representing clients in the High Court in London and in inquests, a further highlight for the group is acting for clients in court within product claims internationally. Tim Annett and Sallie Booth are at the helm, the former of whom has a particular strength in cases stemming from defective bicycles. Among the group’s deep bench at associate level is Catherine Slattery, a practitioner who has experience dealing with medical devices and claims arising from defective products, or product claims stemming from clinical negligence.
