Personal Injury
Devereux is recognised as one of the leading sets in the country specialising in personal injury work. We are consistently listed in the top ten personal injury sets by both Chambers UK and Legal 500. The personal injury group, which includes three Queen’s Counsel, covers all aspects of personal injury work at the highest level. At the same time our strong team of juniors provide a complete service in multi-track and fast-track trials in courts up and down the country.
Solicitors come to us for our significant expertise in dealing with all types of accident and disease cases; from the simplest traumas to the most complex catastrophic injuries. Our members are regularly instructed to appear on novel and difficult cases raising points of law.
We take pride in our reputation for excellence while at the same time being friendly and easy to deal with. We are large enough to provide in depth expertise at all levels, but at the same time we take great care to provide a personal and sensitive approach to clients and their families. The advice and representation we provide is clear, practical and delivered in a way that is down-to-earth and unstuffy.
We have considerable expertise in settling cases at joint settlement meetings and in mediation but first and foremost we are advocates, with recognised excellence in trial advocacy on both liability and quantum issues.
We have written or co-written prominent practitioners' texts in our specialist fields. We also write for legal publications and give lectures and seminars both externally and as part of our own continuing education programme.
