Michael Gray
Partner
Head of Spinal Injury Unit
Chris Gutteridge, a leading barrister in this area from Exchange Chambers, attests to our approach, noting:
“Working with Fletchers, and in particular with Michael and his team, is made so much easier by the way in which the cases are understood and prepared. Michael and his team are very knowledgeable and forensic in their approach to understanding the issues. They have lots of experience with some of the most complex cases that we see. It can’t be said for every firm, but Fletchers really do take the time to get to know the individual at the heart of these cases and go the extra mile.”
