Rooney v Vardy — The Breakdown
In this six-part podcast series, Paul Lunt and Jamie Hurworth give a view ‘behind the scenes’ of the 'Wagatha Christie' trial, discussing the legal hurdles that they faced during the case and answering from a legal perspective any burning questions from the audience.
“Paul Lunt and Glyn Lancefield of Brabners represented my company and two of its Directors in a complex action with potential liabilities of over £1 million. Paul is the epitome of the Litigation Partner, strategic in thought, clear in explanation, and calm under pressure. Glyn combines a detailed knowledge of court procedure and the law with an ability to give clear and concise advice, undiluted by the client’s own views. In my 30+ years of practising as a solicitor, it has been rare to find fellow professionals who can advise in such a manner. Ultimately, this lengthy and difficult case was settled. I’d like to say a public thank you to Brabners, Paul and Glyn for their hard work, flexibility and expertise.”
Client
“We’d like to thank both Paul Lunt and Adam Murphy for the exceptional support and expertise provided during litigation. Their human approach and practical common sense made a significant difference throughout the process. From our very first meeting, we were struck by their ability to connect on a personal level while maintaining the highest professional standards. Their empathy and understanding — combined with clear and sensible advice — helped us to navigate what could have been a much more stressful experience. It was reassuring to know that we had them fighting our corner.”

“I'd like to highly recommend Oliver Andrews and his team at Brabners. We looked into the possibility of working with a number of law firms on a highly sensitive and complex matter. Our work is quite unique and the team at Brabners took time to thoroughly understand our programme and desired outcome. The quality of their work was excellent and extremely effective. We're truly delighted with the outcome and as such have already engaged their services again.”

Emma’s promptness in addressing every development, paired with her strategic approach, made navigating the process far less daunting. Her dedication to our case was evident from the outset. She was always available to answer questions, provided thoughtful guidance and took a proactive stance to ensure the best possible outcomes.”
