UK’s largest clinical negligence practice expands into Newcastle

The UK’s largest clinical negligence practice Fletchers Solicitors is embarking on an expansion, launching a new office in Newcastle.

The new office, based on Pilgrim Street, Newcastle, will act as a regional hub that will help to support people in the North East who have experiences a personal injury or clinical negligence, according to reports.

“We are thrilled to open our doors in Newcastle as part of our continued national growth. This new location allows us to be closer to our clients and partners in the region,” Alex Lynch, chief financial officer at Fletchers, told the Solicitors Journal.

“Our mission is to help rebuild the lives of those who have suffered life-changing injuries, ensuring they receive access to the justice and support they deserve. Expanding into Newcastle reinforces this mission and deepens our connection to the communities we serve.”

According to Lynch, the opening of the Newcastle office reflects the firm’s commitment to furthering its geographic reach and attracting legal talent in the North East.

The Solicitors Journal reports that the firm will now be looking to collaborate with local charities, advocacy groups, and healthcare support organisations to “extend the firm’s reach beyond legal representation” and contribute to the long-term recovery and support of individuals.
