Mick is a Senior Associate in our Personal Injury team. Mick trained with Ashtons Legal (then Cunningham John) and then worked for many years in a personal injury team for a national firm in Cambridge. Until recently he was a Partner at an injury law firm but returned to Ashtons Legal in November 2021. During his career, Mick has worked exclusively for injured clients to ensure that they receive not just the right level of compensation but also the support, treatment and rehabilitation they need. The majority of his work has been in relation to those suffering a traumatic brain injury. Mick is a member of Apil. Mick has a reputation for taking on difficult liability cases that other lawyers have rejected and he works tenaciously to ensure that his clients get, not just the right level of compensation, but also the support, treatment and rehabilitation they need. Mick understands that an injury can have a devastating impact on a person’s life and that of their family, and believes there is little more rewarding than playing a part in securing what is needed to make that person’s life and their family’s lives better - trying to restore as much normality as possible so that they can go on with their lives. Outside of work, Mick supports Norwich City Football Club and has a keen interest in cars and travel.

It’s no exaggeration when I say that Ashtons Legal changed my life after I sustained a catastrophic traumatic brain injury aged 20. Ashtons was recommended to me by the PALS team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and I reached out to them in early 2022 and the case concluded in mid 2026 due to its complexity. Thanks to the absolutely tenacious eye for detail that Mick Upton used in my case against the individual who injured me in a hit-and-run, and the ice cold professionalism and legal acumen that Marcus Grant presented against the insurance company who were the defendants in the case, I am now protected for the foreseeable future and have access to cutting edge care and financial advice outsourced to excellent advisors who also have a great eye for all things economic. Throughout the four-year process I was kept in the loop every step of the way. No stone was left unturned and nothing was left to chance - Mick Upton led from the front to secure me a settlement which is absolutely life changing and Marcus Grant was there to be the face of negotiation, assist and to provide crucial representation when it mattered most. Throughout it all there was a team of ferociously dedicated and committed executives, managers and assistants who formed the backbone of the case and provided their expert aid when I needed questions answered or needed to provide my own input. I would like to thank one of them, Louise Reardon, for being so kind, helpful and understanding when I found it difficult to complete forms or communicate effectively with the team. Her compassion was second to none, matched only by her ability to assist and offer guidance. For them this was another day at the office. For me, it was simply life changing and I cannot express my gratitude adequately in this review. If you need a personal injury team that fights tooth and nail for the best outcome, look no further. 10/10.

Outstanding Service and Support I can’t thank Mick Upton enough for the incredible service he provided during my industrial injury claim. From the very beginning, Mick was professional, friendly, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, always made himself available to answer questions, and guided me through each step with confidence and care. What stood out most was Mick’s dedication and understanding — he not only handled my case with great skill but also offered a level of personal support that made a stressful situation much easier to cope with. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, the claim was successful, which will make a huge difference for me moving forward and help manage any future challenges related to the injury. I highly recommend Mick Upton to anyone needing a solicitor for an industrial injury claim. His professionalism, empathy, and commitment are second to none.

I can’t recommend Ashtons legal highly enough! From start to finish, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, care ,dedication, and expertise. They guided me and my family through a complex situation with patience and clarity, ensuring we understood every step along the way. Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome was truly impressive. Thanks to all their hard work and persistence, we achieved a result that exceeded our expectations. My family and I are incredibly grateful for their support during a very stressful time. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and goes the extra mile, Ashtons Legal is the one to trust. We are beyond happy with the outcome and couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you again for everything!

Mike Upton in my experience is the ultimate professional. I cannot express how much help and confidence Mike has shown to me with my case.despite the world dealing with covid and he himself having his own personal heartaches. He has constantly been there for me giving me confidence in him and his team. Originally my case was quoted as being worth £17000. After Mike had seen all of the previous correspondence he got to work. Through Mike's hard work the case ended up being worth £95000 to me a life changing amount. I cannot say thank you enough. As ex armed forces my biggest compliment could only be. I know if ever I was needing someone to stand beside me and fight my case I would pick Mick everytime. Thank you so much
