Venus Legal welcomes Wren Blackwood to team

Boutique litigation firm Venus Legal is celebrating its ongoing expansion with the recent appointment of Wren Blackwood as Paralegal. Based in the North West, the firm has made a name for itself by specialising in large scale group litigation and class action claims. They primarily represent individuals whose lives, health, and wellbeing have been adversely affected by their work, as well as those suffering loss or harm.

Wren's hire comes on the heels of Venus Legal's strategic expansion into military claims, allowing the firm to better serve current and former members of the Armed Forces who have experienced serious injuries or abuse during their service. With her background in complex, high-value personal injury and industrial disease claims, Wren is well-equipped to support both union clients and individuals impacted by workplace-related illnesses and injuries. She launched her career after studying Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University but soon found her true calling in law, particularly in personal injury.

Lorna McGlone, the Founder and CEO of Venus Legal, expressed enthusiasm about Wren’s addition to the firm, noting “Wren joins us at an incredibly exciting time as our activity continues to build momentum this year, and we are delighted to welcome her to the team.” She elaborated on the importance of growth for the firm, stating, “For us, growth has never been about scale alone, it’s about ensuring we have the right people in place to deliver the level of service our clients need and expect from us.”

Wren brings valuable technical expertise and a strong commitment to client support, which Lorna believes will be crucial for the firm’s continual development. The firm has also made significant investments in technology and advanced AI capabilities this year, including a dedicated online platform designed to improve accessibility, streamline case management, and enhance communication with military clients.

Reflecting on her new role, Wren said, “I’m excited and proud to be joining Venus Legal at such an important stage in their journey. The firms focus on client care, alongside its ambition and collaborative culture, really stood out to me.” She pointed out her enthusiasm for growing her career in personal injury law and her desire to support clients facing complex, often life-changing cases. “I feel privileged to be part of the incredible work they do,” she added.

Lorna concluded with a commitment to constant improvement, stating, “Our priority, as always, is to deliver the highest quality service to our clients, which is why we continue to invest in our people.” Venus Legal remains steadfast in its dedication to both team development and infrastructure investment as they build their presence across the UK, with a focus on delivering high-quality, specialist legal support in sensitive and complex cases.
