Being part of a business that’s thrived since the early 1900s is not something that has been forgotten. Whilst so much has changed over the years, one thing never does; a promise to put its clients first. Irwin Mitchell’s humble beginnings began with a focus on criminal law cases, but by the 1980s, its specialism was personal injury. It built up a reputation for working on some of the most high-profile cases in the country, including the Zeebrugge ferry and British Airtours Boeing 737 disasters. Whether it’s pushing for changes to the law or success in landmark litigation verdicts, winning when it really matters has become part of Irwin Mitchell’s DNA. Over the past two decades, Irwin Mitchell has rapidly expanded across the country, with new specialisms, new partners, and new offices. With year-on-year growth and an ever-expanding client base, its future is bright. Irwin Mitchell client Zach and his mum Claire, celebrating his new law.
