Serious injury specialist Paul McClorry is well-equipped to act for claimants in catastrophic injury matters and helms Hudgell Solicitors's Manchester-based team.

The team also represents victims’ families at inquest in fatal contexts; the team’s work representing both survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing and victims’ families is standout in this area. Rachel Di Clemente's workload includes cases surrounding lifelong physical and psychological injury. Kerry Gillespie is another name to note in the group, as is Mark Ellis, who bolstered the practice with his September 2024 arrival.
