Read the stories behind our solicitors' most significant litigation cases, in their own words.
"We got the call to say we’d won the case at the final attempt about four months after the Supreme Court hearing. The feeling of relief and pride was overwhelming, and it was great to see Ms Coulter’s Will be honoured."
"Supporting my clients though challenging situations like this is why I do the job I do. I am passionate about providing each and every one of my clients with the very best advice and representation. It is so important to me to get the outcome that my clients seek, especially when achieving that goal has a beneficial effect on wider society."
"One of my most memorable cases was my 64 year old client, who made a claim against the estate of his late partner, who he’d been with for 25 years. He’d been married once before, but when it ended in a messy divorce, he vowed to never re-marry."
"With a severely injured child at the heart of this case, I worked tirelessly to secure one of the biggest settlements we’ve seen for this type of claim at Irwin Mitchell. It was wonderful to achieve such a good result in this case for a lovely family, and to make sure that their child can enjoy the rest of their childhood without being too held back by their disability. "
"Helping clients navigate complicated situations like this one and getting the result they wanted is the reason I love my job. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. "
"When in a dispute, I believe that everyone deserves to be able to present their case to a court, and and that there is an playing field. A memorable international divorce case I worked on for a client called Emma was a particularly rewarding one for me."
"We pushed the boundary of the law for the Rix family, and the Judge recognised the need to look at the practical realities of each individual family in cases like this – which is the approach we’ve always adopted. The family expressed how well supported they felt throughout, at what was undoubtedly a very difficult time for them."
"I can still remember the day I called Lotti to tell her that the Defendant had admitted liability. She burst into tears which made me well up too, and neither of us could speak. She says she still remembers the call vividly."
"It’s an immense privilege to represent mesothelioma clients and their families. If we can get the necessary funds so they can access better and more effective treatment, their life could be extended. Knowing this, along with helping people to achieve some measure of justice and giving them some peace of mind, I find incredibly rewarding."
"It was the five year anniversary this month of a high profile divorce case I won at the Supreme Court, which was a career highlight of mine. Two women challenged their divorce settlements after their husbands were found to have misled them over their wealth."
"It’s not often that you get a chance to go to the Court of Appeal, and not often you get to do so on a point of legal analysis which impacts not only your client but other employers too. Being able to do that is – for me – a standout moment in my career."
"I recently represented two brothers who were in a dispute over 50 acres of farmland they’d been promised by the farm owner they worked for. It ended with them winning in the High Court in April 2020. They were deserving of it - they’d worked hard on that land for years."
"One of the most challenging cases I’ve dealt with since then went all the way to the Supreme Court. It was a surrogacy case brought by a woman diagnosed with cervical cancer aged 29. Her cancer was missed at several opportunities, and as a result of chemo-radiotherapy, she became infertile."
