Fletchers Solicitors’ Jessica Roberts Named Rising Star of the Year at the Liverpool Legal Awards

Fletchers Solicitors is celebrating the success of Jessica Roberts, Clinical Negligence Solicitor in the firm’s Liverpool office, after she was named Rising Star of the Year at the 2025 Liverpool Legal Awards.

Jessica was recognised for her exceptional work on high-value clinical negligence cases, her commitment to improving patient safety, and her extensive community impact across Merseyside.

Joining Fletchers before completing her LLB, Jessica quickly established herself as a standout solicitor, specialising in catastrophic injury claims involving brain and spinal injuries, amputations and fatal accidents.

She was selected by the firm’s senior leadership to deliver the inaugural Junior Lawyer Speech at the Southport and Ormskirk Law Society Dinner — a testament to her growing influence in the region’s legal community.

Alongside her casework, Jessica has volunteered with leading national charities to promote injury awareness and improve access to support for people affected by life-changing injuries. She also plays a key role in mentoring aspiring lawyers and contributes to firmwide diversity, inclusion, and community initiatives.

Jessica said:
“To be recognised amongst the amazing talent that we have in Liverpool and across Merseyside is a true honour. To be able to enter the lives of clients and earn their trust during some of their most difficult life moments is a privilege I never take for granted.
“Supporting people through trauma and helping them find answers, accountability and closure is the reason I do this work. I am incredibly grateful to my colleagues and mentors for their investment in me and the opportunities afforded to enable me to have a real impact and contribute to Merseyside’s reputation for legal excellence.”

Tim Moulton, Head of Fletchers’ Liverpool office, said:
“Jess is an exceptional solicitor who continually demonstrates technical excellence well beyond her PQE and a persistent desire to learn and develop. Her compassion, insight and commitment to clients and colleagues is truly outstanding.
“Whether she’s navigating complex, high-value cases, driving innovation through ADR schemes, or volunteering to support people living with brain injuries, Jess remains modest at the same time as consistently going above and beyond. Her Rising Star award is thoroughly deserved, and we are extremely proud of her achievements.”

Jessica’s dedication to raising care standards, increasing accountability and strengthening patient safety has established her as one of Merseyside’s emerging legal leaders.

Her award was announced at the Liverpool Law Society Annual Dinner and Legal Awards, held at the Rum Warehouse, Titanic Hotel Liverpool, on 13 November 2025.
