Atha & Co

Atha & Co, specialist personal injury solicitors in Middlesbrough

Atha & Co is a law firm based in Middlesbrough, in the Teesside region, which focuses exclusively on personal injury claims. Founded over fifty years ago by Tony Atha, the firm began as a general high street practice handling conveyancing, wills, family matters, personal injury claims, criminal matters and general litigation. Over time, the firm has become increasingly specialised and now focuses entirely on personal injury, accidents at work, medical negligence and road traffic accidents, with particular attention to the most serious accidents.

Practice areas

The firm structures its work around several categories of claim:

• Accidents at work
• Industrial diseases
• Slips, trips and falls
• Road traffic accidents
• Psychological trauma arising from an accident
• CICA claims (Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority)
• Medical negligence
• Commercial disputes

Areas covered

The firm serves clients in Middlesbrough and other nearby locations: Redcar, Saltburn, Hartlepool, Thornaby, Billingham, Darlington, Durham, Stockton and Sunderland.

Approach to work and client care

According to the firm's own presentation, its aim is to secure the maximum compensation for its clients and it works on a no win, no fee basis. The firm states it maintains a 98% client satisfaction rate. In addition to financial compensation, the firm says it seeks to reduce the stress of the process by using straightforward language, avoiding legal jargon where possible, and arranging physiotherapy and counselling appointments. The firm describes itself as local and independent and states that the people of Teesside believe that Atha & Co wins more compensation for more people than other local firms, a claim the website attributes to a 2020 Bauer survey.

Team

The firm's structure includes Charles Atha and Martin Demoily as directors, and Nicola Trow as solicitor. The management and administration team includes an accounts and marketing manager, Grant Nattrass, as well as reception staff. The firm states that its solicitors support the client from start to finish of the process.

Informative content

Atha & Co publishes articles and materials on its website about personal injury claims, medical negligence and the evidence required for this type of procedure, as well as a series of personal injury masterclasses given by Charles Atha.
