Hudgell Solicitors

Hudgell solicitors has established itself as one of the most progressive and ambitious law firms in the North of England and is now recognised as one of the Top 200 law firms in the UK.

The firm’s respected brand is characterised by its dedication to client care, to righting wrongs, fighting for justice and delivering the best possible outcome for every client.

About the firm: Established in 1997, Hudgell Solicitors has expanded through strategic growth and acquisitions in recent years. It now represents thousands of clients in claims for clinical negligence, personal and criminal injury, civil liberties and serious injury and illness abroad.

It is also one of only a small number of firms to have a legal aid franchise for representing families in traumatic cases when a child suffers a neurological injury up to eight weeks from birth.

Led by Executive Chairman Neil Hudgell and CEO Rachel Di Clemente, it has continually reacted and anticipated changes in the industry to grow as others have exited the market.

In the summer of 2018, an office was opened in Manchester and the firm is now building on three years of success in the north-west by increasing its team and office space in Manchester. This follows continued growth in client numbers in the civil liberties and travel litigation departments. The firm’s serious injury and clinical negligence departments will also now operate from the Manchester office as well as the firm’s head office in Hull.

The strategic plan of the firm now centres around its two main operational hubs in the north.  The expansion in the north-west is to complement the excellent, long established team in Hull, providing seriously injured people with first rate legal support and access to the best rehabilitation.

In 2020, the firm also appointed Eve Carter to head up a Court of Protection team from Manchester and offering further specialist support to the growing serious injury team.

The expanding Manchester-based Civil Liberties team, led by experienced inquests and inquiries specialist solicitor Terry Wilcox, has represented the families of victims at the Manchester Arena Inquiry.
