Recommendations
Chambers UK
- One of the leading juniors in the region. Glyn Edwards is widely thought to be ‘head and shoulders above the rest.’ As one client noted: ‘It’d be hard to find someone better in the West Country.’ He receives a wealth of positive recommendations as a ‘tough opponent’ who produces ‘high-calibre arguments.’ Edwards has ‘flair and polish,’ as well as a ‘calm manner and great sense of humour,’ according to observers. Dealing with both claimant and defendant work, he is often instructed by the UK’s largest insurers in relation to a combination of employers’ liability, brain and spinal injury work.
- ‘One of the first choices for PI work’. He has a lot of common sense and ‘is extremely good on his feet’. – 2007
