Highlighted for its ‘person-centric’ approach, Clarke Willmott LLP stands out for its longstanding reputation handling catastrophic injury and fatal accident claims. The firm is particularly adept at acting for adults and children requiring complex, long-term care and rehabilitation. The firm’s South West offering is led by the ’stand-out’ Lee Hart, who leverages decades of expertise in brain and spinal injury claims, alongside a niche specialism in cases relating to injuries caused by animals. Working across the Bristol and Birmingham offices, Marguarita Tyne heads the firm’s personal injury and medical negligence teams, while Philip Edwards specialises in brain injuries, amputations and fatal claims.
