Switalskis expands personal injury team into London

Law firm Switalskis has expanded its national personal injury team into London and promoted Mark Hollinghurst to managing director of personal injury.

Mark now leads a 40-strong department, including brain and spinal injury specialists and will oversee the firm’s growth and reputation as a leading legal employer.

Four senior lawyers have joined from Taylor Rose Solicitors: Caroline Kempster, Ian Latimer, Allen Myers and Simon Rooney, bringing decades of experience in complex and catastrophic injury claims.

The move supports Switalskis’ national growth strategy and reinforces its standing as one of the UK’s top claimant firms.

Mark said: “This is an exciting moment for us as we build on our Yorkshire roots and expand our reach into London. 

“Recruiting four outstanding personal injury solicitors is an important step in our team’s development. Caroline, Ian, Simon and Allen are talented and share our values of expert legal advice combined with genuine care for clients. 

“Their expertise and energy will help us support more clients in London and the South East while we continue to build a workplace where talented lawyers thrive.”

John Durkan, managing director of Switalskis, added: “I’m delighted this very experienced team is now on board with us and that it will further support the growth of our London office.

“It also shows our continued commitment to personal injury work as a practice area we are keen to invest in.”
