JMK Solicitors has retained its number one position as the leading personal injury law firm in Northern Ireland for the fifth consecutive year, handling more cases locally than any other legal firm.
The Belfast and Newry-based legal firm handled a record 1,544 separate personal injury cases registered in 2018, an 8 per cent growth on the previous year and more than double as many cases as its nearest competitor, according to figures from the Compensation Recovery Unit, a division of the Department for Communities.
The firm, established in 2003, credited its continued growth to a programme of investment in staff, technology, brand awareness and exclusive focus on personal injury and road traffic claims. Overall staff numbers have grown to 68, more than doubling in just four years.
Maurece Hutchinson, managing director at JMK Solicitors, said: “We're pleased to have consolidated our position in the local market. We are unique in that we only handle personal injury and road traffic accident claims. This complete focus means our staff have built up significant specialist skills and knowledge in this area of law.
"We invest heavily in training to ensure we can continue to help every client fully and fairly recover their losses with the least possible stress. And we are very proud that 99 per cent of our clients say they would recommend JMK to a friend."
In 2017 JMK (www.jmksolicitors.com) achieved the Lexcel accreditation, a quality mark for the legal profession administered by the Law Society and which recognises firms which achieve excellence in legal practice management and client care.
