‘They have some very good professional negligence lawyers - they are 'proper' prof neg solicitors who really understand the issues.
- A further strength is they have strength in other areas (e.g. commercial litigation, employment) which they make use of in 'crossover' professional negligence claims, e.g. those which allege that a solicitor has given careless advice in respect of employment law.
- They are expensive though!’
‘The quality of lawyer is considerably higher than in most claimant firms.
- Charlie Shillito is a high calibre lawyer, who previously worked on the defence side for Clyde & Co, so he really understands the industry as well as the work. He also totally 'gets' the commercial side, and is good at managing lay clients
- The other lawyer of note is Eva McHale, who I have only recently begun working with, but seems to have a very good grip on the case she has instructed me on.’
‘The team were very collaborative and clearly had experience working in the Quincecare claim arena which was extremely value given it is such a niche area.’
‘Michael Brown as the Partner was very knowledge, calm and approachable. Charlie Shillito was the Senior Associate who drove everything forward and he was confident, collaborative and always well prepared.’
‘A diverse team with a wide range of experts able to handle the complexities of the case. Whilst individuals may lead the discussions about the case, there is a feeling that the team are working together and all playing their part in ensuring that each element of the case gets the level of detail required; no one individual is solely responsible for a case that could have many different legal areas to address which gives a greater focus.
- The team are competent and ensure they get a detailed brief prior to engaging in the case matter, this helps to limit the number of contacts and emails required to resolve a matter (very important when time is not in abundance).’
‘Charlie Shillito was an extremely professional advisor, whilst also being a very likeable individual. Despite the engagement with Charlie being my first, the relationship with Charlie mirrored my wider relationship with PMC which is one of familiarity and knowledge. From my first discussions with Charlie, I was comfortable that he embodied the PMC culture and it was very easy to discuss the matters of the case, our intended outcome and the level of involvement that we desired from legal. There was never any attempt to put 'time on the clock' unnecessarily to justify the fee, instead Charlie and his team delivered very satisfactory work for less than was quoted. This transparent nature and the excellent standard of work provided would result in me having no hesitation to use their services again. ’
‘A dynamic and assertive team which drives the client's case forwards’
‘Charlie Shillito stands out as a thoughtful and incisive lawyer who takes the fight to the other side.’
