“Thom Lumley is always happy to help.When Thom feels a claim has little chance of being defended, he always lays out a clear set of options to ensure we, the customer, receive the best service.

“The Plexus Chelmsford casualty team is highly rated by our department. There is a good mix of experience in the team. Effective oversight is evident as the experienced partners have clearly passed their unique approach to complex cases to the counsel/counsel dealing with less important matters on a day-to-day basis.'

'Thom Lumley went above and beyond to build a good working relationship with me and my client.'

“Part of what makes this practice team unique is their ability to provide legal advice based on in-depth industry knowledge. In our case, the team I worked with has in-depth knowledge of the transport sector and the legal/regulatory framework that supports it, making the advocacy work developed for us crucial. In addition to being relevant to the preparation of our defense, this knowledge has enabled Plexus to provide a number of invaluable recommendations in terms of experienced attorneys and witnesses.'
