The team at Clyde & Co is ‘top of the class’ when it comes to representing public sector entities, corporations, and insurers in claims involving fundamental dishonesty, and catastrophic personal injuries sustained in the course of employment or road traffic accidents. Chris Murray and Stuart Furniss jointly lead the team from Manchester and Liverpool respectively. Furniss routinely achieves early settlement for public and motor liability claims where claimants have sustained severe head or orthopaedic injuries, while Murray handles a broad range of serious injury and psychological injury claims. Nicola Overmire has broad expertise in subtle brain injury and amputation claims, and ‘hugely intelligent’ large loss claims expert Andrew Kerr primarily acts for corporate policyholders, local authorities, and insurers. David Spencer is noted for his ‘unparalleled knowledge’ of fatal and catastrophic injury claims in motorsports, while the ‘outstanding’ Chris Eccles is particularly adept at acting for insurers in road traffic accident, employers’ and public liability cases. Jonathan Clay and David Wynn have since left the firm.
