In addition Malcolm Henke was top ranked as a defendant personal injury lawyer and Tanja Neuhoff was identified as the "London Associate to watch". The full entry reads:
Clients agree that “this firm provides a super service” in the personal injury arena. The team is much admired by commentators for its “intelligent, sensible approach” and for being “easy to deal with and keeping people informed.” The group focuses on catastrophic personal injury work, regularly handling cases in excess of £1 million, and has developed an impressive reputation for dealing with international work, having built a significant client base in Gibraltar. Closer to home, the addition of an office in Bristol means the team can carry out work across the UK. The “calm and reflective” Malcolm Henke heads the catastrophic injury group. He has more than 25 years' experience in the field and is renowned for his spinal cord and brain injury-related expertise. “Proactive and realistic,” he always “gets the job done,” interviewees attest. Steven King is responsible for the liability insurance group. He is lauded for his liability expertise, including related employer and public sector claims. Paul Davies is also sought after for his experience in these areas, as well as for his skills as a mediator. He can often be found acting on high-value claims relating to catastrophic injuries. New to the tables this year is Tanja Neuhoff; clients praise her dedication, observing that “she leaves no stone unturned when it comes to advancing a case.”.
