The team increasingly undertakes court and advisory work on high value claims involving allegations of fraud, occupancy, low velocity impact and credit hire issues, as well as cases where an individual has suffered a permanent or acceleration injury.
Work covered ranges from modest claims to catastrophic injuries and members have noted strengths in:

Junior civil practitioners and pupils regularly undertake Small Claims cases and we consider this essential and valuable advocacy experience.
