Law firm Banner Jones has strengthened its personal injury team with the appointment of chartered legal executive Sarah Schoolar.
Schoolar, who joins from Elliot Mather and is based in the firm’s Chesterfield office, has more than 15 years’ experience in civil litigation. She works to secure compensation for clients who have suffered life altering injuries sustained through no fault of their own.
Sarah Sadler has been promoted to head of personal injury. Chief executive Simon Wright (former head of personal injury) maintains a role in the team as consultant.
Sadler oversees injury claims including clinical negligence, road traffic accidents, accidents at work, public and occupier’s liability and Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority claims (CICA) and sexual abuse compensation claims.
Sadler commented: 'I am delighted to welcome Sarah to the team and to take on my new role as Head of Personal Injury. We are excited to grow the department and to help people, who have been through difficult experiences, get the outcomes they hope for'.
Schoolar added: 'I am really looking forward to joining the Banner Jones and working alongside Sarah.
'The Personal Injury team has a strong reputation across the region for its in-depth legal knowledge, but also for its personal approach that helps to put clients at ease and makes them feel that they are treated as individuals.
'The firm as a whole has an unrivalled reputation for delivering accessible, customer service-led legal services and that’s something I am equally passionate about.'
Banner Jones has offices in Chesterfield, Sheffield, Dronfield, Mansfield and Nottingham.
