Uninsured loss recovery (ULR) specialist firm Corclaim has announced three promotions in its Birmingham office.
Effective May 2026, the firm has promoted Michael Brooks to partner, Oliver Burke to senior associate and Matt Watson to associate.
Michael specialises in litigation arising from road traffic accidents, property damage and damage to highways. He has particular expertise in acting for businesses to recover losses, including claims pursued by way of direct action against insurers and claims against the Motor Insurers’ Bureau involving uninsured or untraced drivers.
Oliver handles a mix of high-value property and motor ULR claims, and has experience managing complex litigation, including involvement in multi-track trials. He also provides technical and operational guidance to the team, as well as being a trusted advisor to some major clients.
Matt specialises in high-value property disputes, with a focus on highways and ULR claims. He is also a trusted advisor for clients on high-profile matters, as well providing support to more junior members of staff, with the benefit of his increasing breadth of technical knowledge.
Ian Evans, partner and head of Corclaim, said: “It’s fantastic to see our colleagues recognised for the impact they are making across the business. These promotions reflect the standards we hold ourselves to and the quality of delivery across the team. Congratulations to everyone being promoted – they have taken real ownership of their work, delivered consistently for clients and strengthened Corclaim through their contribution.”
