Law firm Vantage seals growth funding

NICHE legal firm Vantage Law has sealed a funding deal to help it expand into new areas.

The firm, based on Water Street in Liverpool city centre, specialises in complex  personal injury claims.

Its second deal with Merseyside Special Investment Fund, will help it grow its personal injury team and also branch out into other legal disciplines.

Vantage was founded in 2010 by managing director and solicitor Mark Pollard and personal injury specialist Samantha Peddie.   

Mr Pollard said: “Whilst personal injury law is a competitive marketplace we take on some of the more unusual claims which many solicitors aren’t interested in because they are seen as high risk. This differentiates us from other firms and has helped us build up a solid income stream.  

“We always strive to get the best results for our clients as quickly as we can. To maintain this level of service we need to bring in someone else and we needed a bit of working capital to enable us to do this.

“As well as our personal injury work we are also looking to expand into new areas and want to maintain that same quality of service.”

MSIF investment director Chris Walters said: “Whereas a lot of personal injury firms employ non-skilled staff to process claims, Vantage Law has the experience and expertise required to oversee the more complex cases.

“This has helped them to establish themselves in a niche area and they have built up an impressive reputation. We are pleased that the firm has done so well and are very happy to be supporting them again.”
