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.
