A 10-strong team of specialist insurance lawyers has been recruited by Morgan Cole.

The team, headed by Partner Mark Bailey and leading injury lawyer Graham Morris, has joined Morgan Cole from Gloucester-based solicitors Tayntons LLP. The lawyers will be based at Morgan Cole’s office in Bristol, which it opened last year, initially to serve the corporate finance market in the South West.

Neil McLaughlin, Partner and head of Morgan Cole's insurance practice, said, "This is a team with a national reputation, particularly in advising on catastrophic injury claims, which is an area of our practice that we have been very keen to expand. The decision by Mark, Graham and their colleagues is a great demonstration of confidence in Morgan Cole’s insurance practice."

Mark Bailey added, "The team sees this as an exciting opportunity to join one of the UK’s leading regional practices. Our skills and experience fit well with the existing services offered by Morgan Cole and will benefit existing clients as well as providing an opportunity to target new opportunities."
