‘From the very start the team at Irwin Mitchell have always listened and taken time to hear our concerns and respond appropriately. The staff all genuinely care and are prepared to push for you where ever possible.'
‘Katie Warner has been exceptional to us in our legal journey. She has demonstrated the same tenacity, and determination to fight for us from the start and she is always prepared to go above and beyond. No ask is ever too much and she will always make time for you.'
‘Mainly that they are contactable and responsive to professionals and clients.’
‘Irwin Mitchell is the “go to” firm in the Sheffield area. There is usually “hands on” partner involvement in all cases. From my perspective, the team provides an excellent and highly personal service. Without exception, those with whom I have regular contact have outstanding people skills and are very conscientiousness.'
- 'Julianne Moore sets the tone for her team. She is an excellent solicitor and is totally committed to her clients. I sense that they feel she understands and supports them. She works incredibly hard and I have been very impressed by her attention to detail in cases.'
- 'Tania Harrison has recently become a partner. She is firm in negotiations but her excellent client care skills do not prevent her giving difficult advice when it is necessary. She is intelligent, enthusiastic and very able.'
‘Irwin Mitchell is a nationwide firm with a claimant clinical negligence practice. Throughout the firm there is strength in the depth and breadth of experience the team can bring to bear.'
‘In the Yorkshire office I rate Tom Mather. He has a calm and reflective manner. He guides his clients through the maze of litigation. He is intelligent and astute, and he asks challenging questions of his team and experts to ensure issues are properly considered and analysed. He is first rate.'
