We’re proud to announce we have retained our Tier 2 ranking in The Legal 500 for 2026, a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional support for individuals affected by life-changing injuries.
Our Cheadle office, led by Vicky Whitney and Emily Kalwak, has earned a strong reputation for its expertise in catastrophic injury cases, including spinal, brain, and amputation injuries. A large part of the team’s work focuses on complex road traffic accident (RTA) claims. Vicky and Emily co-lead the team, working closely with Natasha Ulph, who provides additional support from our Warwick office.
A highlight for the team this year has been the recognition of Emma Jones and Emily Kalwak as Next Generation Partners. Both Emma and Emily have earned reputations as rising stars for their exceptional work and commitment to providing outstanding client care, always approaching cases with compassion and sensitivity.
Jonathan Fogerty has also been recognised by clients as a stand-out individual, alongside further praise for Emma Jones for her expertise in handling cases involving traumatic brain injuries and amputations, and for Katie Pendower, whose work focuses on life-changing injuries and fatalities arising from road traffic accidents.
