Chambers UK and the Legal 500

The Linder Myers medical negligence team is praised in the 2011 Chambers UK edition: "The profile of this Manchester firm remains strong, with the team handling an increased number of claims since its merger with local firm Rostrons. The firm offers a full clinical negligence service, covering all issues arising from medical accidents, and is widely regarded as one of the key players in the field."

Trevor Ward has been described as a "leading light in the region", best known for his participation in the landmark Thompstone judgment on indexation. He has "an incredible intellect, coupled with an exceptionally affable personality." Julia Bridges has broad experience in maximum severity claims and is considered to be "a phenomenal tactician." Diane Rostron is noted in the Chambers UK 2011 edition as "an excellent addition to the team".

Andrew McBride, Head of the Personal Injury department is also noted in the Chambers UK: "He enjoys an impressive reputation for his work in the sector".

Linder Myers is listed in the Legal 500 for our Family, Employment, Personal Injury and Medical Negligence work.
