Ross joins from Howe & Co Solicitors, where he served as head of travel and joint head of post office compensation.

“Serious Injury Law has built a formidable reputation for taking on some of the most challenging and complex cases, both in the UK and across borders.
“I am proud to play my part in delivering justice for clients and helping them rebuild their lives, wherever in the world they are injured.”
