Recognition of Richard Edwards hits headlines

Our founding Solicitor and leading Catastrophic Injury Lawyer, Richard Edwards, is celebrating after the recent round of legal directory releases this autumn. Richard, 47, founder of Liverpool firm Richard Edwards & Co, has been recognised as a Leading Partner in the Legal 500 2026 Directory and also ranked in Band 2 in the Chambers Directory.

Richard is described as “outstanding”, “more than a match for any lawyer within the sector” and someone who is “particularly experienced in advising on cases involving amputations and brain injuries”.

He has won plaudits for being “an expert in what he does”, “who fights for his clients as if it were his own battle, demonstrating both professionalism and genuine care” whilst being “tactically very astute, but never [losing] sight of the wider strategic picture”.

Richard lays claim to be the only lawyer specialising in catastrophic injury litigation based in Liverpool who holds dual rankings in Chambers and Partners and as a Leading Partner in Legal 500.

Richard said: “I have been practicing in serious and catastrophic injury work for more than 20 years now and I have always strived to deliver the best outcomes for my clients.

“Of course it’s nice to be recognised for my work, but first and foremost, it’s about my clients’ needs and doing what I can to get the outcome they deserve.

“I’m looking forward to building upon this with my new firm in Liverpool.”
