Horwich Cohen Coghlan (HCC), the Manchester-headquartered personal injury firm, has
confirmed it is launching a new London office in January 2021. Specialist
Patrick Maguire has been appointed to head up the new operation.
Patrick
joins HCC from Slater & Gordon where his most recent role at the firm was
as practice director with responsibility for the serious injury practice across
the UK.
HCC
continues its appointment of senior lawyers by adding former Slater &
Gordon employee Amber Braybrooke to the new London team as an associate partner
from January 2021.
Patrick
Maguire and Amber Braybrooke have advised clients in a series of high profile
and very high value cases including representing victims and their families who
were seriously or fatally injured in the terror attacks in London in 2017 and,
more recently, the victims of the Novichok nerve agent attack in Salisbury.
Patrick
Maguire said: ‘I’m excited about launching a new office in London and
supporting my clients through the legal process following the life-changing
incident they’ve experienced.
‘In HCC Solicitors, I’m joining a firm of like-minded individuals who are committed to putting the interests of clients first. I’m also excited to be teaming up with my former colleague Amber Braybrooke, who I have worked closely with for many years.’
