A SWINDON-based personal injury law firm has won the highest ranking possible in a respected industry guide.

Novum Law, a personal injury specialist based on Drakes Meadow, has made it into band one in the Chambers and Partners Guide to the Legal Profession for 2019.

The law firm also specialises in medical negligence and asbestos-related illness compensation claims.

The guide described Novum Law as having a healthy presence across the south west, offering "notable strength in industrial disease cases and catastrophic injury claims."

The firm was also particularly highlighted for its experience in complex neurological injuries and its "considerable expertise in assisting children who have sustained severe injuries."

Tim Robinson, finance director of Novum Law, said: “Once again we are thrilled with the very highest accolade in this year’s Chambers Guide. To be independently reviewed as the best specialist personal injury law firm in the area for another year is a significant achievement and we are extremely proud of the help, advice and support we give all our clients.

"Our strong performance is testament to the professionalism, expertise and dedication of our talented teams."
