Who We Are
Based in Newcastle upon Tyne with over 220 people including 37 partners and over 125 specialist lawyers Sintons are one of the largest law firms in the northern region and the UK.
Established in 1896, we retain a strong sense of tradition combined with a progressive attitude, to provide our clients with high quality legal advice underpinned by a flexible and pragmatic approach.
“Regional heavyweight on a path of steady growth” (Legal 500).
People Matter
Our people help to make Sintons unique and play a huge part in maintaining our distinctive culture. As one of the first law firms in the North East to receive the Investors in People status, we have created an environment aimed at facilitating the most effective work practices and providing first class levels of client care.
Your claim is handled by a single personal injury specialist so you always know who you are dealing with and someone is always there to answer your questions. Every claim is also overseen by a partner with a wealth of experience in personal injury compensation claims.
To ensure that our standards don’t drop, each client receives a service questionnaire at the conclusion of their claim, whilst Feefo an independent assessor contacts a cross section of people to obtain objective feedback on Sintons and the service we provide.
Visit our people section to find out more about our staff or read about what our clients have said about us.
No man is an Island
We all have an interest in helping those we live with. Recognising the needs of others and actively seeking solutions is an essential part of the Sintons ethos. Providing care and practical assistance outside the legal world is of prime importance and forms the foundation of our Corporate Social Responsibility Programme. This is borne out by the significant amount of time our staff invest in voluntary activities and the money we donate to national and local charities.
To begin a personal injury compensation claim or obtain further advice with no obligation contact Sintons 24/7.
