Hannah Martin

I am an experienced litigation and claims professional with over 12 years' experience across the legal and insurance industries, specialising in personal injury, claims validation and EL/PL claims. I started my career as a Paralegal and have worked my way into management through determination, practical experience and continuous development, without following the traditional solicitor qualification route. As a Litigation Claims Manager at Strata Solicitors, part of Gallagher Bassett, I currently lead a team focusing on developing people, strengthening client relationships and enhancing our claims validation offering. I am passionate about developing others and creating opportunities for people to progress. I take particular pride in helping junior colleagues build their confidence, knowledge and careers. Outside work, I am a wife and mum to two young boys. Balancing family life with a demanding leadership role is something I am incredibly proud of, and I hope my career demonstrates that there is no single path to success in the legal profession. I am proud of the results I have achieved throughout my career, but most proud of the people I have helped develop along the way. Success is measured not solely by personal achievement. It is measured by the results delivered for clients, the positive impact on the wider business and the growth and success of the people I support. I am proud to have contributed to all three.
