Neil Henthorn
Senior Associate
Neil Henthorn is a Senior Associate at Beacon Law, specialising in personal injury. He has worked in this area for 24 years, with a particular background in complex, serious and catastrophic injury claims.
Neil acts for clients injured in road traffic accidents, accidents at work, and trips, slips and falls. He has handled a broad range of injuries, including serious spinal injuries, complex orthopaedic injuries, brain injuries, and other physical and psychological injuries. He works closely with specialist legal and medical experts, including barristers, KCs, spinal surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, consultant neurologists, consultant psychologists and psychiatrists, and consultant rheumatologists and pain specialists. He is also involved in training and developing other solicitors and legal assistants at the firm.
Neil has worked at national full-service law firms as well as high street and niche practices over the course of his career. He values a personal, friendly and approachable service, combined with the infrastructure and expertise more often found at larger firms. This combination shapes how he works with clients, aiming to give each one a highly professional and personal experience.
Neil sees Beacon Law as offering a distinctive balance: the personal, approachable service of a smaller firm alongside the resources and efficiency associated with national practices. As the firm continues to grow, he is focused on maintaining an impeccable standard of service for his clients.
Outside of work, Neil enjoys the cinema, theatre, literature and writing, and follows football. Most of all, he values time spent with his wife and three young children.
