This year three solicitors, practising with leading Shropshire
law firm Lanyon Bowdler, have been recognised as 'Leaders in their
Field' by legal directory Chambers UK.
Joining previously acknowledged partners Peter Flint and Paula
Nash is partner and head of the personal injury team, Neil
Lorimer.
Neil has specialised in representing claimants in respect of
personal injury and clinical negligence claims for many years. He
has acted for a large number of claimants who have suffered serious
multiple injuries including acquired brain injury, spinal injury
and amputees, subjects in which he has a special interest. He is on
the Law Society's Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury Panels
and is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers
(APIL). Neil is also a member of Headway - the Brain Injury
Association Personal Injury Solicitors List.
Neil enters the Chambers UK Directory at Band 2 - just one step
away from the very highest recommendation. The Directory recognises
him for his "experience, approach and sensitivity." Also quoting
that "Clients praise his persistence and determination, saying: "He
will not rest until he has a winning position." The head of the
personal injury group regularly acts for clients seriously injured
abroad."
Senior partner Peter Flint specialises in all aspects of family
law, he is a practising Family Mediator and a trained Collaborative
Lawyer. Peter is a member of Resolution, Family Mediators
Association, SALM (Shropshire Association of Lawyer Mediators) and
the Law Society Family Law Panel. Chambers Directory quotes "Peter
Flint draws praise for his professional and empathetic approach,
and is applauded by one source as "the best divorce lawyer in
Shropshire." In addition to handling ancillary relief proceedings,
he is also skilled in cohabitation issues and prenuptial
agreements."
Paula Nash is experienced in dealing with a broad range of
medical negligence claims in areas such as Anaesthesia,
Orthopaedics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology (including cerebral
palsy birth injury claims), Paediatrics, Urology, General Surgery,
Ophthalmology and Cardiac Surgery. She has wide ranging trial
experience, together with experience of community care law and
judicial review applications. Paula is a member of the Law Society
Clinical Negligence Panel, and is an APIL Senior Litigator.
Chambers acknowledges "The "absolutely superb" Paula Nash of Lanyon
Bowdler Solicitors is widely praised for her "detailed knowledge of
clinical negligence" and for the good outcomes she has achieved for
clients. Peers are impressed by the way that she has "transformed"
the clinical negligence team at her firm."
All lawyers who appear in the directory are ranked because of
the weight of positive feedback received during research carried
out by Chambers into the strengths and reputations of law firms and
individuals.
Lanyon Bowdler as a firm is ranked by Chambers UK for its
Family/Matrimonial reputation in the Midlands. The department is
"Praised for its continued dedication to publicly funded work, but
also undertakes a vast amount of private instructions. Its
broad-based offering includes both matrimonial finance and children
work. Sources praise the helpful and approachable outlook of the
group across the board."
