Hodge Jones & Allen

1 Reputation

The firm has a strong reputation with pioneering, dynamic, client focused lawyers, who are specialists in their fields and provide superior client support from start to finish.

2 Specialist legal advice

The firm covers ten core areas of business - Personal Injury; Clinical Negligence; Wills & Probate; Family Law; Serious Fraud; Civil Liberties; Dispute Resolution; Criminal Defence, and Housing Law.

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 clients who are not eligible for Legal Aid.

4 Big cases and small

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

5 Human Rights ethos

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.

6 Organic growth

Now over 30 years established, the firm has 180 staff, including 70 lawyers and 20 partners. In 2007 it moved into new premises on North Gower Street, London NW1.

7 Leading lawyers in their fields

The firm and its lawyers have been recognised by clients, peers and the major 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. There are currently nine partners deservedly recognised as 'leaders in their fields' by the national legal directories.

8 Strong management and customer care

We proudly display the Lexcel mark, awarded by the Law Society only to solicitors who meet the highest level of management and customer care. We have also won the Investor in People accreditation, a training and development standard recognised across all industry sectors.

9 High staff retention

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

Clients and staff benefit from investment in internal procedures including superior IT systems and case tracking support.
