New partner for the multi-track personal injury team

Simpson Millar has strengthened its specialist multi-track personal injury practice with the appointment of Rose Gibson as partner. She joins the Manchester office, and brings 22 years of experience.

Rose is a specialist lawyer in serious/catastrophic injuries including loss of sight, brain injury, spinal injury and loss of limb and fatal accidents, and is frequently asked to lecture nationally and internationally on the UK’s civil justice system. She is a member of APIL and supporter of the Spinal Injuries Association, Brake and Headway.

Melanie Burden, head of multi-track personal injury, says: “Simpson Millar has a strong team representing accident victims to secure the support needed to live with the long-term consequences of the serious injuries they’ve sustained. Rose has an unrivalled reputation in the profession and is known for her caring and sympathetic approach with her clients. Rose will travel the length and breadth of the country to offer a personal level of service to her clients. I feel so privileged that Rose has chosen to become a part of our specialist team. The recent merger with Colemans-ctts has already increased our capacity, and Rose’s considerable experience and expertise will allow us to support even more claimants.”

Rose says: “I’m delighted to be joining Simpson Millar. Our combined experience and their growing geographical spread will allow me to continue to support the victims of serious injuries across the UK to get the support they need and deserve. I’ve often succeeded in concluding difficult cases other firms have turned away, and thrive on this challenge. Simpson Millar has the forward thinking attitude, the track record and the experienced team that will allow me to keep doing the work I love.”
