Top 10 of 140 law firms for Punitive Damages, Tort Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Punitive damages (also called exemplary damages) are a rare, exceptional remedy in tort, not normally recoverable as a matter of standard compensation. They may be considered only in very limited circumstances where the defendant’s conduct was oppressive, arbitrary, or in defiance of public principles. A solicitor will assess whether the case fits the narrow criteria set out in case law such as Rookes v Barnard and related authorities, and will advise on prospects, evidential requirements, and possible court submissions for such damages. The existence of a statutory or contractual cap, or the availability of aggravated damages, may also shape strategy.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Exemplary damages arise only in rare, clearly egregious cases; a solicitor will detail legal tests, gather evidence of oppression or high-handed conduct, and prepare targeted submissions to justify a punitive award, including relevant case law and any statutory constraints.

Rachel attended the police station at such short notice when a false allegation was made against me by my ex partner. I was nervous as I’d as never been in a police station in my life or even spoken to a police officer but Rachel was very informative and calm and talked me through the whole process. Her professionalism and knowledge alongside her calm rapport allowed me to conduct my interview and allow me to plead my innocence and I feel her presence helped me massively. The case has now been closed with no further action. Thanks again Rachel.

Many thanks to Zoreen for her excellent work on my behalf. My case was a very difficult, complex possession order (section 8) The 'other side' were covered by Legal Aid and were ,-( to be polite,) very difficult and obstructive, causing more and more problems by the day! Zoreen took all of this in her stride and dealt with every single issue from start to finish. She handled my stress, anxiety and frustrations with kindness and empathy and took the burden from my shoulders. This meant so very much to me. Her communication skills are second to none, she kept me updated every step of the way via phone calls, face to face and emails... and there were a lot! Anything I did not understand, she explained clearly. Zoreen is a true professional, she knows her role extremely well and without a shadow of a doubt will fly up her career ladder. She is enthusiastic, reliable, thorough, fair and transparent. I cannot recommend Zoreen highly enough... She also has an amazing sense of humour, and we did have some great laugh out loud moments!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Zoreen, you have been AMAZING!! Oh- did I forget to say... she took the victory!!! I hope you celebrate your well earned triumph Zoreen x Wishing you the very best for your future Tracie
