About me

Ed Fletcher, Director and head of the Spinalaw team at Fletchers Solicitors has a unique insight into the needs of spinally injured people, having completely severed his spinal cord at T9/10.

Following his accident Ed took a decision to dedicate his working life to fighting solely for the spinally injured.

Ed is on the recommended solicitors lists of both the Spinal Injuries Association and Headway, the national brain injury charity. Ed is a senior litigator member of APIL and treasurer of the Merseyside SIA group.

Ed is chairman of the North- West Spinal Injuries Centre Patient Group and via a programme run by the charity 'Back-Up' mentors young people who have recently sustained spinal cord injury."

He has built up a team of expert lawyers around him who are not only experienced in handling such claims but who share in his commitment and dedication to fighting for the spinally injured.

We pride ourselves on our personalised approach, offering advice and support from the date of injury for life.
