Rehab Associates

What Rehab Associates does

Rehab Associates Ltd is a UK-based, therapist-led rehabilitation and expert witness services firm founded in 2011 by Managing Director Apurba Chakraborty. The company operates from a headquarters in Oldham, Lancashire, with a registered office in Stalybridge, and employs between 11 and 50 professionals spanning more than 20 clinical and para-medical disciplines. Its core business is the delivery of medico-legal expert witness reports — including quantum, condition-prognosis, and liability assessments — for claimant and defendant solicitors and insurers in personal injury and clinical negligence cases, alongside clinical rehabilitation services for individuals with catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal injuries, cerebral palsy, and amputations. The firm also offers custom consultancy services to health, social care, and legal organisations.

The firm generates revenue through three professional services streams: expert witness instructions, clinical rehabilitation, and bespoke consultancy. Pricing is quote-based and per-engagement, with services delivered on a multi-year contractual basis through direct instructions from legal professionals and insurers. The go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, with the Business Manager overseeing referrals and new instructions, supported by endorsements from senior QCs and named law firms including Jobling Gowler Solicitors, Walk Up Law Office (California), and Hill Dickinson LLP. Service delivery occurs both remotely and in-person across the UK and internationally (Europe, India, USA, Australia).

The company is privately held with no external investors, no parent company, and no recorded funding rounds, operating as a bootstrapped professional services firm. Its competitive position rests on the clinical credentials and courtroom-tested reputation of its multi-disciplinary team, the Managing Director's 30+ years of experience and civic recognition (High Sheriff of South Yorkshire Award, Mayor of Rochdale award), and long-standing relationships with leading UK and international law firms and barristers' chambers. The firm has incrementally expanded its team and geographic footprint since founding, adding four new clinicians in June 2023 and extending service delivery to courts in the UK, Ireland, USA, and Australia.
