About JMK Solicitors
What is JMK Solicitors?
JMK Solicitors is Northern Ireland's number-one personal-injury law firm, with offices in Belfast, Newry and Derry. Established in 2003, the firm has successfully helped tens of thousands of people recover compensation, with 99% of clients who returned surveys saying they would recommend JMK. With over 20 years of experience — and more than a decade as Northern Ireland's number-one personal-injury specialists — the team has deep familiarity with the processes behind a successful claim. The firm prides itself on a friendly, helpful approach, explaining in plain terms how it can help, what clients are entitled to claim for, and how best to proceed. Its practice covers car, pedestrian, taxi, motorbike, cycling, children's, work, travel and product-liability accident claims.

What is the JMK Solicitors team like?
The firm was established by its founders, including Maurece Hutchinson, and is run by an extensive leadership team spanning a Managing Director, Operations Director, Legal Services Director, Risk and Compliance Director, Finance Director, Director of HR, and Marie-Claire Meehan as Director of Performance. The team is built around a set of core values that staff follow every day in pursuit of the firm's mission — "proudly improving the lives of our clients following traumatic events, achieving the best possible outcome, with the least stress."
Work-Life Balance
JMK Solicitors was one of the first employers in Northern Ireland to commit to and implement a four-day week for all employees, with no reduction in pay. As the firm explains: "Since January 2020 all JMK staff had their work hours reduced by 20%, from 37.5 hours to 30 hours with NO impact on their salary." The firm reports that the four-day week has improved employee wellbeing while productivity and client care have remained of a high standard, and its team have benefited from the extra day off. JMK is also part of the 4 Day Week Ireland Campaign.
Perks and Benefits
The firm's standout offering is its four-day, 30-hour week at full pay, introduced in January 2020 with employee wellbeing front of mind. JMK also provides healthcare benefits, employer pension contributions, and professional-development and CPD opportunities for its team.
