About Irwin Mitchell

Irwin Mitchell was established over 90 years ago and it is now the 4th largest law firm (by number of fee earners) and the largest personal injury practice in the UK. The practice employs more than 2300 staff with offices in Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Manchester, Newcastle, and Sheffield, as well as the Spanish cities of Marbella and Madrid.

We have grown consistently year on year through organic growth and a number of strategic mergers with firms and organisations in tune with our values and culture.

We are the largest “full service” law firm within the UK with our services divided into two main categories: legal services for individuals and those for businesses, institutions and organisations.

As well as being recognised as the leading national personal injury firm in the UK, we have also developed a reputation for the delivery of strong commercial services that add real value to businesses, institutions and organisations. Over the last 5 years, the firm has enjoyed substantial growth as its business strategies have reaped rewards.

In June 2007 the firm was awarded ‘National Law Firm of the Year’ at the prestigious Lawyer awards in recognition of its strategic vision, consistent delivery of client service, strong spread of work, evidence of excellence and a strong financial performance.

Our internal structure is divided into three main practice areas:

IM Personal Injury
IM Personal Injury is one of the largest and most successful departments in the country, with recognised expertise in every area of this specialised work; from accidents at work, on the road or in public places through to more serious claims for head and spinal injuries and asbestos related diseases. We also have one of the country’s leading clinical negligence teams.

IM Business/Private Client
IM Business/Private Client provides a wide range of legal services to businesses, institutions and organisations as well as a wide range of traditional private client or individual services including wills, conveyancing and family.
