Our experienced team of barristers has a proven track record in international personal injury work. Both Chambers UK and Legal 500 recognise our team as a leading travel law set.
Our members regularly act in single-party and multi-party cases. Instructions span the full spectrum of severity, from fast-track to fatal and catastrophic matters.
The team has acted in a very wide range of claims for individuals, from sub-standard hotel facilities to fatal aircraft crashes.
Our expertise in jurisdictional points has been honed by a long history of acting for those injured whilst working at sea. Matters have included acting for divers, seafarers, and those injured in foreign docks.
We have significant expertise in group actions, including outbreaks attributable to food poisoning and Cryptosporidiosis. Members have also acted in multi-party actions arising from road traffic accidents abroad, including coach collisions.
Another specialism is high-value cross-jurisdictional disputes between England and the Southern Hemisphere. Richard Royle is a leading barrister in New South Wales and has acted alone or with others from Chambers in various overseas claims, including Australian-based torts heard in the English courts and vice versa.
