 | Underwoods was founded in 1991 by Kerry Underwood.
Chambers Guide to the legal profession 2010 lists Underwoods as one of the leading employment and personal injury firms. About the firm it says:
Underwoods is a highly influential flagship firm and a model for other law firms. It provides a superlative service and with its unparalleled standards of client care Underwoods’ glowing reputation is fully deserved.
Excellence and personal service are combined with an innovative and commercial approach and the firm provides clients with secure websites for 24-7 access to their files. Underwoods specialises in civil litigation and is particularly well known for its employment, commercial, costs and public and administrative law work.
It is unique in giving clients an appeal procedure to a QC funded by Underwoods Solicitors in the event of a client being unhappy about terms of settlement in a fixed fee or contingency fee case, and in publishing its monthly fee-earner audit results on its website and paying £50 every time the firm’s four core client care promises are not met.
It is in a league of its own in terms of client care. It is one of the very best firms and now has significant commercial and tax-planning practices. It has Investor in People accreditation. Kerry Underwood leads a team of highly talented specialist solicitors.
The firm is a consultant to Commonwealth governments, government departments, local authorities and law firms large and small. |
