A leading South Wales law firm has marked 20 years of business success by scooping a major industry accolade and pledging its support to a charity that is tackling homelessness in Wales.
Earlier this year, Mooneerams, which specialises in personal injury claims was crowned Personal Injury Team of the Year at the Wales Legal Awards.
The Cardiff-based firm, which employs 15 legal experts, is also commemorating its 20-year anniversary by increasing its active involvement in the community. The firm has partnered with Shelter Cymru as its first ever nominated charity of the year.
The firm established its first office in Cardiff in 2002 and now has a network of 12 offices throughout Wales, serving a client base spanning the whole of Wales and England.
Mooneerams specialises in personal injury law for road traffic accidents, in public and workplace accidents, clinical negligence and criminal injuries cases negotiating compensation pay-outs ranging from thousands of pounds to settlements of more than a million pounds.
Throughout the past 20 years, the firm has pledged its support to many organisations and individuals at a local level but has put a more formal framework in place this year with the creation of its charity of the year initiative, supporting the work of Shelter Cymru.
Managing Director and founder, Alistair Worth, said: “Mooneerams 20th anniversary coinciding with the winning of such a prestigious industry award is a fitting recognition of the past two decades of success. We still have the same philosophy now that we had when the firm was first launched in 2002; to help the innocent, injured victims of accidents that are not their fault, and recover compensation from the insurers of the person (or company) responsible for those injuries.
“Acting exclusively for claimants and not on behalf of insurance companies or local authorities, we continue to be, as far as we are aware, the only purely claimant personal injury firm in Wales, just as we were back in 2002. With the constantly evolving legal landscape, as a progressive firm we’re very much looking forward to seeing what’s in store over the next 20 years.”
