Greenwoods Solicitors

Our clients range from insurers, reinsurers, brokers and loss adjustors, to self insured companies and public sector organisations, as well as policyholders we defend in relation to motoring offences.

Here’s what some of them have to say:

“Greenwoods has been a key player on our legal panel for many years. The support they give to the litigation process and the level of expertise they have across their organisation is obvious in the proactive approach to claims management and the results they consistently achieve.”

Robert Shaw, Head of Technical Claims, Provident Insurance plc

“Telereal Trillium and Greenwoods have forged a strong working relationship in the management of personal injury claims. Greenwoods’ expertise in this field, combined with their in-depth knowledge of our business, ensures that both the client and its insurer’s interests are totally aligned. Significant cost savings in the conduct of claims have been achieved through this successful business partnership.”

Malcolm Clemitson, Head of Claims, Service Policies

“Greenwoods continues to provide a world class service. They are not just enthusiastic, they are driven – and they constantly push the boundaries of litigation to obtain the results we require.”

Paul Smith, Claims Director, Markerstudy Group

“I have had the opportunity of working with Greenwoods for almost three years now and during that time have worked with a number of different people within their organisation. It doesn’t seem to matter who it is that you are working with, their knowledge and expertise is second to none. However, what really makes Greenwoods stand out in my opinion is the succinct and forthright advice they give, even when they know it’s not the advice you want to hear. Invariably the advice proves to be the most appropriate action to take.”

Colin Sheader, Risk Manager, Swift Group

We work closely with Greenwoods dedicated team – they provide friendly, pragmatic and effective advice throughout the claims process. We are always impressed with their professionalism – and the consistently good results they achieve working with the Force.”

Melanie Blakey, Force Solicitor, Lincolnshire Police

“An extremely difficult and long-running Party Wall Act dispute was brought safely to conclusion by a combination of in-depth knowledge, tactical thinking and sheer tenacity on the part of Greenwoods’ Marise Gellert, transforming an ugly muddle into a clear set of issues and solutions.”

A major insurance company

“I have used Greenwoods’ Counter Fraud services for several years and found them very proactive and innovative in their approach.”

Ken Walker, Technical Claims Manager, Hastings Insurance Services

“At Sky Insurance, we have worked closely with Greenwoods’ Counter Fraud team for more than three years, on numerous claims. We have built a strong relationship with the key people there involved in counter intelligence and fraud trends.

Barrie Simpson, Internet Trading Manager, Sky Insurance Services Group

“Since Greenwoods were appointed to represent me, the service provided has been excellent. From my initial contact through to the interview I have had a warm feeling that I was being well looked after. What more can I say!”

A grateful member of the motoring public

“I would like to thank you whole-heartedly for the service and support you have offered in this extremely stressful time. Even though the police and CPS have left me frustrated and bewildered at times, your support and guidance has always made it easier to handle.”

An appreciative motorist client

“I am going to regret not working with Greenwoods anymore. There have been a number of times in my career when I have had the pleasure of working on a case with a thoroughly good team, but I cannot remember any that matched you people at Greenwoods. All of you have the mixture of hard work, thoroughness, compassion and balanced judgement that is needed in the difficult job you do. That mixture of virtues also makes Counsel’s job far less stressful.”

Letter of thanks received from a defence barrister on his retirement

“Just to express my sincere thanks for all your hard work. You were courteous, efficient, hard working, explained everything carefully and clearly and were always there for us when we needed your advice during this very trying time. Thank you so much; although as always the final outcome was out of your hands, you did everything possible to ensure a positive outcome.”
