Specialist Swindon law firm appoints Sally Calverley as Chief Executive

Specialist personal injury and medical negligence law firm, Novum Law, headquartered in Swindon, and its sister Court of Protection firm, Hyphen Law has appointed Sally Calverley as its new Chief Executive.

Sally brings a wealth of expertise and experience from the legal sector where she has held senior positions at law firms including Carbon Law Partners, Bevan Brittan and Capsticks.

Sally joins at a pivotal time as the business consolidates its position as a specialist, claimant-only law firm focusing on helping people who have been seriously injured or harmed, through no fault of their own, to get access to justice, financial compensation, rehabilitation, and the care and support they need.

Sally has ambitions to accelerate growth, in its seven regional offices, which includes Swindon, Bristol, Cardiff, the Isle of Wight, Plymouth, Salisbury and Southampton. 

She said: “Our strength comes from our people and we have some of the best lawyers, paralegals and support staff in the business. From the outset, I’ve been impressed with the calibre of our staff, the willingness of everyone to get stuck in and do what they can to help vulnerable, injured, or sick people.

“Those who have been negligently harmed or injured or lost loved ones due to the actions of others deserve access to justice. They need expert legal advice and the reassurance and peace of mind that they won’t have to struggle to get necessary medical treatment, rehabilitation, or financial support."

Tim Robinson, finance director said:  “This is a vital time for the business as we look to continue our ambitious expansion plans in what is, for all personal injury and medical negligence law firms, a challenging market, particularly following the pandemic. 

“The Board and our staff relish working with Sally to achieve our business goals in the ever-changing legal landscape.”
