Mixing ‘traditional values with a real enthusiasm to tackle difficult legal issues and claims’, NewLaw Solicitors’ ‘strong and varied offering’ has the strength-in-depth to handle a tremendous volume and range of cases, from relatively commoditised fast-track claims through to matters of the utmost severity. The firm is able to handle the volume matters in a streamlined and effective manner by virtue of its new client portal, while for serious life-changing injuries, clients also benefit from access to the firm’s two in-house Welfare Managers. Hilton Obery manages motor, employer and public liability claims, with a specialist focus on large loss spinal injuries, an area that Lisa Samuel is also very well-versed. ’Heavyweight litigator’ Cenric Clement-Evans ‘brings real force to negotiations and case strategy’ in relation to workplace injuries, both on single event accidents and occupational illness/disease. In this regard, Clement-Evans regularly receives invaluable support from associate Kelly Bernstein whose ’customer care goes above and beyond’. Praised for his ability to provide ‘detailed and thorough advice’, Darren Hackley-Green is one of many in the team with a focus on RTA work and is also noted for his ability to advise on related cross-border issues. While she does not currently handle fee-earning work, Nicola Edwards is operational lead of the specialist claims group.
