National law firm Irwin Mitchell has appointed senior associate Michael Hagan to its international serious injury department. Hagan, who joined on 16 June 2025 from Fletchers Solicitors, will be based in Manchester, advising clients across the north-west.
Bringing over 16 years’ experience in personal injury law, Hagan—known as Mike—specialises in complex cross-border cases, including road traffic collisions, aviation and marine incidents, and jurisdictional disputes. One of his landmark cases involved winning a six-figure settlement for a client injured in France.
His professional accolades include membership in both APIL and PEOPIL, and he is recognised as a Recommended Lawyer in the Legal 500. His arrival follows the recent addition of partner Fern Mapp to Irwin Mitchell’s Scottish team, reinforcing the firm's commitment to expanding its international practice.
Demetrius Danas, partner and head of the team, welcomed the move: ‘It’s a very exciting time for the team as we welcome Mike who joins us with a breadth of expertise and knowledge in international litigation.’
Hagan added: ‘I’m thrilled to be joining the well-respected team at Irwin Mitchell.’
