Acting on its own as well as often in conjunction with its more well-established Bristol base, Irwin Mitchell's recently established office in Cardiff continues to gain traction in the South Wales market, where it is appreciated for its 'very responsive, thorough and detail-oriented' approach. Lauded for her 'down-to- earth and friendly' demeanour, senior associate Kate Easy has been pivotal to the growth of the team, gaining an increased volume of instructions from South Wales-based claimants, including on obstetric cases leading to cerebral palsy and those concerned with a delay in diagnosis leading to catastrophic spinal or brain damage. Team head Julie Lewis splits her time between Cardiff and Bristol with a specialism in birth and neonatal injury and other brain injury cases.
