David Bott

Managing Partner

David Bott is the Managing Partner of Bott & Company. David established the firm with Paul Hinchliffe and Gary Froggatt.

The trio shared a vision they remain committed to today, namely to provide an unrivalled service to individual clients and to claims companies.

David is passionate about the ethos of putting clients first.  Via Bott and Co, a claimant will be treated as an individual and will talk to a real person.  Bott and Co is down to earth and we want what our clients want i.e. to get the best settlement in the quickest time through the use of great IT and personable lawyers.  99% of all our clients who fill in client feedback forms would recommend us to friends and family, so David is rightly proud of the firm and its people.

Bott and Co make sure that every penny we recover for an individual is passed on to that individual (unless fraud or breach of contract or with prior arrangements).
