Wolferstans is a leading Plymouth law firm with a history going back to 1812, providing legal services to individuals, families, businesses, public sector and voluntary organisations based in Devon and Cornwall. In many cases the firm acts for successive generations of the same families.
Wolferstans has a strong reputation for its personal injury and medical negligence work. Its complex cases include multimillion-pound settlements, with a recent matter settling for about £20 million. The case was notable because it secured a provision to amend periodical payments in the future.
The firm represented claimants in a leading case on secondary-victim claims and acts in high-profile fatal accident claims, complex mesothelioma issues and for military personnel. The latter require specialist expertise in how civil injury claims and lifetime awards under the armed forces compensation scheme interrelate.
The firm has a range of private client services, including Office of the Public Guardian panel work. It acts for key developer, employer and education clients from across the region, advising more than 100 schools and local institutions, including Plymouth Argyle Football in the Community Trust.
