We are proud to share that HCC Solicitors has been named the Law Firm of the Year 2025 Winner at the prestigious Modern Claims Awards! This incredible achievement recognises our ongoing commitment to excellence, innovation, and client care in the serious injury legal sector.

A Year of Unprecedented Growth and Innovation

The past 12 months have been transformative for HCC Solicitors. We have strengthened our position as a national leader in serious injury claims through strategic investments in people, technology, and expansion initiatives. Highlights from the year include:

  • New Office in Plymouth – In response to growing demand, we expanded our footprint by opening a new office in Plymouth, complementing our established bases in Manchester, London, and Birmingham.

  • Court of Protection Team Launch – Led by specialist Michelle Weaver, our new Court of Protection team ensures the financial security of our clients after settlement.

  • London Office Expansion – Our London team has moved into larger premises in the heart of the City to accommodate significant growth.

  • Technology Advancements – We are investing in cutting-edge AI solutions to drive efficiencies and enhance the delivery of client services.

  • Recruitment Drive – Our team continues to grow across all four offices, ensuring we have the best talent to support an ever-increasing caseload.

Client Service at Our Core

At HCC Solicitors, clients and their families are always our top priority. Our ‘Family First’ ethos ensures holistic support for those affected by catastrophic injuries.

Over the past year, we have secured tens of millions of pounds in compensation for our clients, but our mission goes far beyond financial settlements. We are dedicated to providing:

  • Access to top-tier rehabilitation services to maximise recovery and independence

  • Wellbeing support through our pro bono client support team, led by an experienced case manager and disability advocate

  • Housing support, helping clients adapt their existing homes or secure new, accessible accommodation

Handling High-Profile and Complex Cases

Our reputation for handling complex, high-profile cases continues to grow. We are proud to have represented clients and families impacted by:

  • The tragic death of Gabrielle Hutchinson at the O2 Brixton Academy

  • The murder of Metropolitan Police Sergeant Matt Ratana

  • The Plymouth shootings that devastated a community

  • The Novichok poisoning of Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey

Giving Back to the Community

Beyond our legal work, we are passionate about creating a positive social impact. Through our DEAR (Diversity, Equality, Anti-Racism) Group, we inspire the next generation of legal professionals and foster an inclusive culture within HCC Solicitors.

We also proudly support charities such as Brake, Roadpeace, Spinal Injuries Association, and the Down Syndrome Association, to name but a few, providing legal training and support to the communities they serve.

Looking to the Future Law Firm of the Year 2025 winning trophy

As the Law Firm of the Year 2025 winner, we look ahead, remaining committed to growth, innovation and delivering exceptional legal services to those who need s most. This winning title is a testament to our team’s relentless dedication, expertise, and client-first approach.

We would like to thank our clients, colleagues, and partners for making this success possible.
