Andrew & Co Awarded Specialist Personal Injury Status

Andrew & Co Solicitors now has the most qualified personal injury team in Lincolnshire after two more members became accredited by leading professional body APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers).

Laura Simpson and Anne Shillitto have both been awarded the prestigious Senior Litigator status.

To qualify, Laura and Anne had to meet extremely high standards of professionalism and demonstrate that they are experienced at identifying liability, assessing and managing risk and valuing the different types of claims.

Michael Pace, Fellow of APIL and Head of the Personal Injury team, explained: “I’d like to congratulate Anne and Laura on their fantastic achievement. This accreditation recognises their individual skills and experience and is not easily gained! No other team in Lincolnshire is as well qualified.”

Anne added: “Being APIL-accredited gives our clients the confidence that we’ve met specific standards and receive ongoing training to keep up to date with all the latest legal developments so we can give them the best possible advice and help through the legal process.”

Laura, who specialises in medical negligence, said: “Having worked in personal Injury and medical negligence for nearly 15 years, and qualified as a solicitor over five years ago, it is a good feeling to have that competence and specialist expertise recognised.

“It also helps potential clients identify who is best able to deal with their claims when they are being bombarded with adverts and communications from claims management companies.”

APIL is the leading, most respected organisation in personal injury law and has been fighting for the rights of injured people for over 25 years.
