RPC is noted as being ‘the ultimate go-to firm for catastrophic and fatal injury cases’ and is well placed to handle the related criminal investigations. The circumstances of the cases the team handles range from RTAs, to building collapses and explosions, to matters of gross negligence; the team also leverages the firm’s regulatory expertise to handle health and safety regulatory work. Mamata Dutta is a key practitioner in the team, noted for her ’very strong intellect and emotional sensitivity’, while Gavin Reese helms the offering and ‘exudes gravitas and knowledge’. Thom Lumley bolstered the practice after joining from Plexus Legal Gateway in September 2023.
