Since it opened its doors in May 2022, Irwin Mitchell‘s Cardiff office has quickly been able ’to attract cases of the utmost severity and achieve optimum results for their clients’. Key to this success has been the work of team head Deborah Rose, who ‘is able to manage serious and complex injury claims with seeming ease’. Associate Rhys Dando often assists Rose on her cases, as well as regularly taking the lead on RTA matters. The arrival in January 2025 of solicitor Eleanor Phillip from DAC Beachcroft Claims Limited adds more bandwidth to the team in light of her asbestos and occupational disease expertise.
