Highly experienced catastrophic and serious injury solicitor, Mary Lomas, who specialises in motorcycle accidents, has over 20 years' experience and will join the two-wheel team within Fletchers' Serious Injury practice.

Mary joins Fletchers from Thorneycroft Solicitors, where she previously held the position of Associate Director and represented clients on a wide range of cases relating to severe orthopaedic injuries, brain injuries, PTSD, chronic pain, fatality cases, as well as clinical negligence cases.

She is a keen supporter of several motorcycle safety organisations and individuals including The British Motorcycle Federation, Upright, DocBikes, Team Thorneycroft56, BelleVue Colts and Christian Iddon.

As part of the move, Fletchers has taken over Thorneycroft's motorbike practice and sponsorship partnerships.

Speaking on her appointment, Mary said:

"I'm delighted to be joining a firm where clients are at the heart of everything and I'm excited to be working alongside an-already excellent and highly regarded team in the two-wheel division.

"Thorneycroft has been my home for many years; however, my priority is to ensure that our hard work of recent years would be maintained in a ‘new home' and I am delighted to have found this at Fletchers."

"I can assure my many contacts in the bike world that I'll still be attending their breakfast catch ups, ride outs and race meetings."

Commenting on Mary's appointment and the transfer of the wider practice to Fletchers, Caroline Morris, Director of Serious Injury, said:

"We're thrilled to have appointed Mary at a time of continued growth for our two-wheel team, and we're confident that her knowledge and experience in this area will prove invaluable for this area of practice.

"This is a great opportunity for us to extend our presence in the bike market, and I'm especially pleased that Mary has chosen to join our team, where she will help us build our ties and commitment to helping people within the motorbike community.

"I have complete confidence that Mary be a welcome addition to our 20-strong two-wheel team, and I am confident that we will now be in a stronger position to build on our existing partnerships whilst continuing to provide the highest level of legal support."
