Neil specialises in obtaining high value awards of damages for seriously injured people as a result of personal injury or clinical negligence. The majority of Neil’s cases are administered through the High Court in the Royal Courts of Justice in London. A list of notable settlements is below. Neil also specialises in providing post settlement services by assisting the family in managing the award as either a professional trustee or deputy.
As a result of acting for seriously injured people for over 20 years and gaining a broad experience of their needs, Neil also assists clients with the variety of legal and practical needs which arise in the aftermath of a serious injury. He regularly helps families with appropriate capacity, insurance, employment, debt and benefits advice. This has led to Neil and the division enjoying the strong ‘trusted adviser’ relationship with many families and local organisations that the firm signposts clients to.
He has developed close relationships with a number of local and regional law firms, which he keeps in contact with regularly. Neil and the firm receive work from these firms and these relationships allow the firm to refer clients who need legal advice outside our area of expertise to the most appropriate advisers.
