Solicitor joins North Wales law firm Mackenzie Jones
Elen Roberts, a clinical negligence and personal injury lawyer, has joined Mackenzie Jones Solicitors, which has offices in St Asaph, Chester, and Menai Bridge. Originally from Anglesey and now living in Rowton, Mrs Roberts brings more than 20 years of legal experience to the firm. (Image: Supplied) Her career includes high-profile work on the Thirlwall Inquiry, which examined events at the Countess of Chester Hospital following the trial and conviction of former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby. Mrs Roberts said: "I trained in Wales and have also worked for leading law practices in Cheshire, Manchester and on the Wirral, but it is fantastic to return home to North Wales and join Mackenzie Jones, a company with a brilliant reputation, notably in this field." Her career path was shaped by a personal experience during her legal studies. Mrs Roberts said: "My sister had a horrific car accident when I was completing my legal studies, so I moved home and helped her to rehabilitate and that had a big effect on the direction of my career." She was part of the legal team that won the Outstanding Case of the Year Award at the 2024 Personal Injury Awards for the case Hadley v Przybylo. The case was recognised for bringing clarity to personal injury claims involving catastrophic injuries.

"It's an exciting time to come on board, and I look forward to contributing to the next chapter of growth and excellence in clinical negligence work. "Having worked with a number of high-profile clients it is fantastic to join a team renowned for its handling of sensitive, complex clinical negligence cases – it's the perfect fit for me." Mackenzie Jones Solicitors, now employing more than 30 staff, holds accreditations including Lexcel, CQS, SIA, and is listed in the Legal 500. The firm is seeing rising demand in commercial contracts and clinical negligence, among other areas. Director Anna Mills Morgan said: "We're delighted to welcome Elen to the team as she brings not only strong legal expertise but also a genuine passion for helping clients navigate complex and sensitive cases. "Her appointment reflects our ongoing investment in talent and specialist knowledge as we respond to growing demand in this field." Fellow director Richard Jones said: "As Mackenzie Jones Solicitors marks its 25th anniversary, it's incredibly rewarding to see continued growth across our key practice areas, including commercial law, clinical negligence, and private client services. "The rise in new instructions is a testament to the trust our clients place in us and the reputation we've built over the last quarter-century. "We're proud of our team and excited about what the future holds as we continue to evolve and expand to meet the needs of our communities in North Wales, the North West and beyond."
