Paul Kirkwood - Partner

Paul Kirkwood, Partner

Paul joined the firm as a partner in 2004. He graduated from Edinburgh University in 1991 and has wide experience in personal injury law claims.

He has fought and won many significant negligence claims. Of particular note is Skinner-v- Scottish Ambulance Service, where the Appeal Court held that employers could not put forward a defence of cost benefit as a way to avoid the provision of better and safer work equipment.

Paul has acted for most of Britain’s trade unions. He recently obtained one of the highest ever payments of compensation in a civil jury court case in Scotland

In addition to dealing with injury claims at all levels of severity, his current work involves high value head and brain injury claims arising from road traffic accidents. As well as obtaining damages awards, he is often involved in arranging high level medical rehabilitation care for brain injured clients. He has assisted in ensuring Personal Injury Trusts are put in place for future care and support for such badly injured clients.
