3 Quality service at great value

We have a proud Legal Aid reputation. We also provide fantastic quality and value-for-money legal services to private clients.

4 Big cases and small

Our teams have acted on law changing, headline grabbing multi-party cases including the Kings Cross fire, the Marchioness boat disaster and the New Cross house fire.

We have an ethos to fight injustice and defend human rights. We acted for Winston Silcott, wrongly convicted of killing PC Blakelock in the Broadwater farm riots and acted for the Bridgewater Four, the men wrongly accused of murdering newspaper boy Carl Bridgewater.

7 Leading lawyers in their fields

The firm and its lawyers have been recognised by clients, peers and the legal directories. Many of our lawyers are accredited by professional panels. Founding partner Patrick Allen is one of the most respected personal injury lawyers in the country. Five other partners are recognised as 'leaders in their fields' by the national legal directories.

A strong trainee programme, admitting up to seven candidates each year. Supporting this is high staff retention, due in part to excellent training and development and a culture geared towards employee success.
