Rob Fletcher LL.B (Hons) MCIArb
Admitted as a solicitor in March 1979, Rob has practiced in the Southport and Liverpool area ever since. Always focused on litigation matters, he broke away from a general practice in 1987 to create Fletchers as a specialist litigation practice. Robs interest in motorcycling and in particular classic bikes (of which he admits to owning 6), led the firm into the area of motorcycle accident claims. Fletchers are now recognised as probably the UK's premier motorcycle claims solicitors dedicated to fighting for bikers after an accident. As a result of the serious injuries often suffered by motorcyclists, Rob and the firm have developed great expertise in handling personal injury cases of the upmost severity. Rob has been sitting as a district judge in the county court for the last 16 years and last year was accredited as a mediator. Rob sees Alternative Dispute Resolution as an important way forward in client handling.
Rob enjoys cycling, golf, ballroom dance and travel, having recently completed a cycling trip to Poland from the UK in aid of charity. He is the 2008 captain of the Hesketh Golf Club which hosts the Junior Open in July this year (2008) and also enjoys weekend breaks in Italy and is fluent in the language.
