We recognise that clients demand specialist knowledge from barristers who are technically astute, excellent in court and aware of wider commercial issues and personable.
Members are regularly instructed in cases involving suspected staged/contrived accidents, ‘phantom passenger’ claims, induced collisions, low-velocity impact collisions and claims involving exaggerated losses. Many of our members also have experience and specialist knowledge of defending suspected ‘fraud rings’ involving organised fraudulent activity.
Members aim to provide realistic and practical advice, both in conference and in writing, to solicitors and insurers from an early stage in proceedings through to trial. Members are especially sensitive to the particular demands of professional insurer clients dealing with high volumes of these increasingly common types of cases.
