Managing partner and director Gareth Humphreys joined the firm as a trainee in 1988 and now specialises in general employers liability claims and catastrophic injury. Gareth has always taken a key interest in management issues and was appointed Walker Smith Way's first managing partner in the autumn of 2002.

A native welsh speaker, Gareth is also a deputy district judge and a member of the Law Society's Law Management Section.

Why did you choose to specialise in personal injury?
More than anything because I enjoy the interaction with clients. I enjoy the challenges of applying ever changing legislation and the adversarial nature of personal injury work. Achieving a successful conclusion to a case on behalf of an individual who has suffered through no fault of their own is very satisfying.

What has been the highlight of your career so far?
Being appointed managing partner of a great firm!

What do you feel most passionate about within your working life?
The service we supply our clients and the firm itself. I think it is a fantastic firm in terms of its client base, culture and the people who work here.

What do you feel most passionate about within your home life?
Apart from my family of course, the welsh language.

If you won the lottery tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?
Share it equally with everyone at Walker Smith Way (I am the managing partner - what else could I say!)
