A local lawyer has been elected onto the national executive committee of an organisation which campaigns for justice for injured people.

Leticia Williams will join the executive committee of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and help lead the 3,500-strong membership.

“I am delighted to have been elected to APIL’s executive committee,” said Leticia. “I have always been an avid supporter of APIL and am excited about the opportunity to work with members and the team to promote the personal injury sector and ensure injured people can get the access to justice they need. We are in a time when so many legislative changes are making it harder for personal injury solicitors to provide help to injured people. The need for a collective voice has never been so important.”

Leticia is a partner at Hodge Jones and Allen solicitors in London.
