HCC launches new South West office

2nd Aug 2024

We are pleased to officially confirm the launch of our new South West office based in Plymouth as demand increases for our specialist legal services.

The new office in Sutton Harbour will be headed up by Hollie Muckley who has been internally appointed from the London office to build on our award-winning services across the South West region.

The move is the next strategic step as we build on our success in Manchester, London and Birmingham in representing people who have sustained a life changing injury and families who have experienced a fatality.

Hollie Muckley is vastly experienced in handling sensitive and complex matters. During the past ten years her professional experience includes representing the victims of high-profile international terrorism incidents, fatalities and life-changing injury and trauma cases.

Hollie’s valuable experience during her time as an in-house lawyer at Barts Health NHS Trust gives her a unique perspective as a claimant lawyer into the Inquest procedures and legal strategies adopted by the NHS and medical professionals.

Before joining HCC, she worked directly for the Home Office in a complex and high-profile Public Inquiry.

Martin James confirms the launch of our new office in Plymouth.

Martin James, Director of HCC, said:

“This strategic move to launch an office in Plymouth builds on our national presence as we continue to grow our team of serious injury lawyers across the country. It enables our award-winning team to serve clients across the South West region where we know there is strong demand for our services.

“We are delighted to confirm that our senior colleague Hollie Muckley will lead our Plymouth office and we will support her to grow and develop a talented team of lawyers to support our clients.”

Patrick Maguire says we are looking after an increasing number of clients in the region.

Patrick Maguire, partner and head of London office at HCC, said:

“Over the last three years or so, we have looked after an ever-increasing number of families who have lost loved ones, or people who have been very badly injured, in the West and South West of England.  By opening an office in Plymouth we will be able to ensure that our ability to support our clients continues to the highest standards.

“Hollie’s vast experience means she’s perfectly placed to lead this exciting new expansion for the firm.  As Hollie has demonstrated in her time in our London office, clients trust her empathetic, professional and caring approach to supporting them through difficult times.”

Hollie Muckley is based in our new Plymouth office.

Hollie Muckley, Senior Associate at HCC said:

“I’m delighted to launch our new office in Plymouth. I’m excited to continue the great work undertaken by my colleagues in our other offices across the country. When the opportunity arose to open a new office in the South West, I leapt at the chance to grow the already established award-winning HCC service alongside Patrick Maguire here in the heart of Plymouth.”
