We sat down with Paul and ask him a few questions about his time within the company.
“I joined Oakwood Solicitors over 14 years ago when I relocated to Leeds. It now feels like a distant memory but the best decision I could have made.”
“I joined Oakwood as a Paralegal predominantly working in the Road Traffic Department. Within 5 years I became a team leader, taking on a variety of personal injury claims, including product liability and cosmetic negligence.
“As experience and ambition grew, I progressed to Deputy Head of the Road Traffic Accident department whilst maintaining a varied case load in a variety of areas in personal injury.
“Now in 2025, some 14 years after first walking into Oakwood Solicitors, I have taken a lead in the EL/PL department, creating a strong and experienced team, ensuring we are in the best position to fight any challenges ahead and provide the best client experience we possibly can.”
“As a team we deal with a wide variety of EL/PL claims, from slips and trips in the workplace or public place, to loss of loss of limbs and other catastrophic injuries.
“However, to us, every case is as important as the other. Any accident can feel catastrophic to the person living its effects, so no matter what the accident, we ensure we get the best possible outcome for our Client.”
“The work I do is very rewarding first and foremost, but specifically about Oakwood I would have to say the team, there is a reason I have stayed with the company 14 years and that’s the great colleagues I work alongside.
I could not have wished for a better group of people to work with, and I have made some very close friends for life.”
“Well what the legal profession – and certainly Personal Injury – looks like now, might not be what it looks like in the future. Even over my 14 years I have seen Personal Injury change significantly.
However, one thing that has remained constant is that people will also need help fighting the negligence of others and it is very rewarding to help them do this.
I entered the legal profession following a degree in Psychology so it was not exactly my plan at the start, but as soon as I opened my first case I was hooked and have loved it ever since.”
