In this episode of Beyond the Gavel, host Rodney Peyton sits down with Paul Rumley, a highly experienced clinical negligence solicitor at RWK Goodman, to unpack the evolving practice of serious injury litigation and the art of mentoring the next generation. Drawing on decades of frontline experience, Paul shares how his journey from first-generation university student to department head shaped his approach to leadership, advocacy, and reform. The conversation explores his role in establishing the COVID claims protocol to improve collaboration between claimant and defendant lawyers, his campaigns to protect legal aid for vulnerable clients, and the importance of ethical, client-focused culture in law firms. From developing young solicitors through hands-on training to managing multimillion-pound settlements with compassion and precision, Paul offers a candid, practical look at the challenges and responsibilities of modern clinical negligence work—and how the profession can adapt to new technologies like AI without losing sight of its human core.
