Senior catastrophic & serious injuries solicitor joins HJA Personal Injury Team
The Personal Injury team at London based social-justice law firm Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors, has appointed industry heavyweight Ken Brough as a Partner. Ken joins the team from his role as the Joint Head of Slater and Gordon’s personal injury practice in Birmingham.


Ken specialises in supporting clients through especially risky litigations, where people have suffered catastrophic and serious injuries, as well as fatalities. He is an expert in providing firm and realistic legal advice for individuals, and their families, who have experienced traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or multiple trauma. He regularly deals with claims that require a strong legal nerve, pushing for justice with cool professional calm and great human sympathy.

Ken deals with every case proactively, invariably seeking the earliest and most effective rehabilitation for seriously injured clients and their families. He has an empathetic and down to earth approach, keen to ensure that clients are given clear and comprehensive advice in plain and jargon-free language. He treats each client’s case according to their own particular needs and circumstances.

Leticia Williams, Partner and Head of Personal Injury said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Ken to the team. His expertise and legal acumen is all the more an asset because of his compassionate and proactive approach to every case he undertakes. He is a collaborative lawyer, who builds excellent relationships with his clients, but has a steeliness and robust approach where needed. He’s the perfect fit for HJA.”

Ken said: “Both HJA and Patrick Allen’s reputation for defending the rights of those who are often marginalised in our society and may not have the easiest routes to justice and legal redress has always been inspiring to me. It is a pleasure to be joining the firm; I am looking forward to working in a firm where clients are at the heart of everything, and to begin working alongside dedicated and spirited individuals who are constantly leading the way and setting new benchmarks in our profession.”
