A LAW firm in Huddersfield is celebrating success – as part of a specialist organisation.

Chadwick Lawrence, which has offices at Railway Street, is a member of the Brain Injury Group, which has received an award from the United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum.

The UKABIF Awards are held annually – and this year, the trophy for UKABIF Lawyer Innovator of the Year went to Francis Lacy Scott, co-founder of the Brain Injury Group and a specialist in catastrophic injury cases.

Chadwick Lawrence was one of the founding members when the Brain Injury Group was formed in April this year.

Howard Willis, partner in charge of the personal injury department at Chadwick Lawrence, said: “We are delighted to see the Brain Injury Group gain recognition for its innovation.

“We joined the Group in the belief it can bring about significant benefits in the way brain injury claims and rehabilitation are carried out and it’s good to see this inspirational group has won professional praise and an award.”

The Brain Injury Group is a national network of specialist brain injury lawyers working in tandem with a range of other professionals involved in welfare, financial and family services to support people with acquired brain injuries.

Bringing all these elements together under the Brain Injury Group banner creates a clear route for brain injured clients and their families to access the support they need from accident through rehabilitation and on to compensation.

By having members across the country, the Brain Injury Group ensures its clients and their families can find specialist brain injury advice and a full range of support services close to home.”
