Slee Blackwell are a Legal 500 recommended firm

The latest edition of the Legal 500 has been published and once again Slee Blackwell have been included as a recommended legal practice.

Slee Blackwell is a Legal 500 recommended firm.

The Legal 500 is the leading guide to law firms and solicitors in the UK. It is a hugely influential publication, with over four million users visiting its website annually.

Inclusion in the guide is based on a detailed analysis of thousands of interviews carried out by independent legal researchers.
Every firm of solicitors that is ranked in the UK Legal 500 is ‘recommended’.

Three of our departments have again been included in the latest edition: personal injury, clinical negligence, and contentious probate.

Personal injury

Our personal injury team is recognised for its niche expertise, especially in Animals Act, historic abuse and stress at work cases. Lawyers James McNally and Elizabeth Duncan are singled out for praise.

Clinical negligence

Oliver Thorne, who heads up our clinical negligence unit, is featured for his handling of high-value claims, including birth injuries, spinal injuries, and acquired brain injuries. His colleagues Caroline Webber-Brown and Clarissa Ellerington are also included.

Contentious probate

Our contentious probate team has caught the editorial eye, with department head Naomi Ireson being described as “a legend in the making”, with a “calm and unflappable approach” and “knowledge and experience” that earns client trust.
Various cases we have dealt with have been highlighted in the Legal 500. These include:
  • A woman whose right earlobe was bitten off by a dog and could not be reattached;
  • A case involving the tragic death of baby;
  • A woman who suffered serious sexual abuse at the hands of her grandmother’s partner; and
  • A client who suffered a loss of sight during routine laser eye surgery.

The publication has also featured a number of very positive testimonials that were given to the independent researchers, including the following:

  • Approachability, patience and understanding. Everybody from reception staff up are welcoming.’
  • Slee Blackwell are a niche PI team, very astute as to the state of the market, proactive, great at client care and because they are specialists, they know their stuff.

Slee Blackwell marketing partner Lee Dawkins was delighted that the firm has again been included in the prestigious guide:

“It’s a tremendous achievement for Slee Blackwell, and I would like to applaud all our hardworking and dedicated lawyers who made this possible. They have all done very well.”
