Vincent Gray
Vincent Gray is a personable and very experienced Insurance and Personal Injury Solicitor.
From 1979, for 12 years, he worked in Manchester as an Insurance Claims Correspondent. By 1992, after years of attending night school, he was awarded an LLB (Hons) from Manchester Metropolitan University.
In 1993, riding his bike daily to Law School, he passed at the first attempt the Solicitors Finals Exams and in 1995 fully qualified as a Solicitor.
In late 1995 fate changed the direction of his professional career as he then switched sides from representing Insurance companies to representing injured Claimants.
By 1998 he opened his own Claimant friendly law firm. After 20 years, many of which he was at the Head of the Litigation Department, and after helping build the brand “The Bike Solicitors”, he moved on and opened in 2019 Gray Christou & Co Solicitors which also advertises as the “On Ya Bike” Solicitors.
In the past he acted for a biker who suffered a very nasty right ankle injury resulting in elective below knee amputation. Vincent ensured the impact on the man’s working and home life was properly compensated for with the final agreed settlement taking into account the cost of adequate provision for changing prosthetics and the impact on the open labour market of the man’s ability to work and find and secure a new job.
When not working Vincent enjoys the company of his wife and family and friends and follows Manchester City and when he can tries to improve his limited golfing skills.
