Coulthursts add to legal team with two experienced recruits

Coulthursts have expanded their legal team, who exclusively support people with claims involving brain injury, with the addition of Richard Langton, a former Chair of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) who has previous experience of working at senior partner level.

Joining the team with him is Rebecca Kenrick who is also a member of APIL. Together they bring with them more than 40 years’ experience of seeking compensation for people affected by life-threatening injuries.

“Both Richard and Rebecca are well suited to the task of helping us achieve our goal of seeking the best possible outcome for our clients while at the same time facilitating their recovery and rehabilitation,” said Coulthursts MD and co-founder Philip Coulthurst.

“We are looking forward to benefiting from their experience and input as we continue to lead the way in the development of the finest legal expertise available for people whose lives have been severely affected by brain injury. There is increasing understanding of brain injury and concussion and it is our intention to stay firmly at the forefront.”

Langton (pictured left), who chairs a Headway Group in the West Midlands and is also a past President and honorary life-time member of APIL and a member of the Forum of Complex Injury Solicitors, has spent his working life representing clients whose lives have been devastated by avoidable injuries. He was won a national reputation after successfully settling a number of large, high-profile cases.

He said: “Coulthursts fits perfectly with my idea of how to give people with an acquired brain injury the best possible chance of a maximum recovery to independence. After someone suffers a devastating injury, we know we can’t turn the clock back, but we can achieve a secure financial future for them.”

Kenrick (pictured centre) is a dual qualified Solicitor and Barrister who has previously worked in the area of personal injury specialising in catastrophic and large loss claims.

Prior to joining Coulthursts, she worked alongside major insurers throughout her career, is well versed in road traffic, employer and public liability claims and has managed a portfolio of complex claims. She is looking forward to working with Coulthursts’ Rehabilitation and Support Service to ensure the best outcome possible for clients and to support them and their families through their claims.

“I was drawn to Coulthursts because of its unique position as the only UK law firm to focus entirely on those affected by brain injuries, and its dedication to improving their lives,” she said.
