Medical negligence and serious injury law firm, Fletchers Solicitors, has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of a new head of its medical negligence serious injury teams.

Peter Rigby joined the Southport-based firm in 2010 as part of the serious injury department, which focuses on catastrophic brain, spinal cord and severe orthopaedic injuries. But after impressing with his knowledge, experience and dedication, he has recently been promoted to head up the medical negligence serious injury teams.

Prior to his role at Fletchers, Peter moved to the North-west in the mid 2000’s and after completing the Bar Vocational Course, he began working at Keoghs Solicitors.

In his new role at Fletchers, Peter will be responsible for leading, managing and developing the firm’s five teams that are dedicated to handling serious medical cases, as well as putting in place systems that ensure the firm continues to provide excellent customer service.

Ed Fletcher, CEO of Fletchers Solicitors, said: “It is great to be able to offer Peter this senior leadership role. Since joining our team, Peter has demonstrated an immense level of expertise and knowledge that made him the ideal candidate for this position. We look forward to seeing how he can help develop and grow our teams and improve our already fantastic customer service.”

Commenting on his new role, Peter Rigby said: “Working at Fletchers Solicitors is an absolute joy and I feel that I have found my home. I have always liked the challenge of progressing to a management role and taking on the responsibilities that come with it. So, being given the chance to move up within Fletchers to a more senior level fits in well with my personal goals.

“My new role will allow me to help develop the teams and individuals within the ever-growing medical negligence department. I’m really excited to get stuck in and help to enhance Fletchers’ already strong and positive reputation for excellent customer service and quality.”

This key appointment comes shortly after Fletchers Solicitors recruited its 400th team member, as it continues with its ambitious plans to become a top 100 law firm by 2018.
