Claire Roantree—Boyes Turner

Personal injury partner joins firm

Boyes Turner has appointed Claire Roantree as a partner within the firm’s personal injury and industrial disease practice. The appointment represents a growth in the team and reflects the ongoing success of the practice. Claire joins after 16 years at Simpson Millar LLP, where she was partner and head of serious personal injury.

Claire has extensive experience of complex, high-value personal injury cases, and is also a trustee and director of Headway South West London.

Kim Smerdon, head of personal injury and industrial disease at Boyes Turner, said: “Recruiting someone of Claire’s calibre and experience to the team at Boyes Turner is a real coup. Claire brings exceptional experience of severe and catastrophic injury claims, and a depth of knowledge and expertise which will bring real benefits to the clients that turn to us for support when they need it most.”

Claire says: “I was looking for a firm with a commitment to clients and dedication to the highest standards of expertise, so a move to Boyes Turner was a natural move for me. I look forward to working with the team at Boyes Turner to deliver positive, life-changing results for people needing support after severe and catastrophic injuries.”
