Law firm Silverbeck Rymer has opted to become a claimant only practice and run off the defendant side of its operation.
Silverbeck Rymer's chairman, Jim Rymer, commented: “It is a strategic decision to focus on the claimant side of the business, including high value claims. It is where our future lies.
“Over the last few years, the growth of the business has been driven by our claimant work. We now handle in excess of 12,000 personal injury claims per year and have the resources, clients and technology to further increase our market share.”
“We are in the process of running off all our defendant work and all defendant lawyers and support staff have been absorbed into the claimant side of the business. There have been no redundancies - quite the opposite, we are recruiting for more people to facilitate our ongoing expansion.
The law firm recorded a turnover of £17.35m for the 2006 / 2007 financial year.
