Work Department

Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence & Employment

Position

With over 35 years’ experience at the bar, Petar Starcevic is one of the most senior and trusted barristers in the market. He maintains a complementary triple specialism in clinical negligence, personal injury and employment. As you would expect from his vast experience, which includes a plethora of reported cases and senior appellate cases, the vast majority of Petar’s cases are either multi-track cases of the most significant importance and challenging complexity in respect of clinical negligence and personal injury work, or cases that concern and involve high value, high stakes litigation in the Employment Tribunal, EAT or in the appellate courts.

A unique feature of Petar’s practice is the way in which each of his three main areas of practice not only complement each other, but also add to the overall quality of his advice, his commercial and legislative awareness and his tactical acumen in both advocacy and case strategy. As an example, Petar regularly brings his vast, frankly impressive, medico-legal knowledge to bear not only in serious clinical negligence and personal injury cases, but also in appropriate employment cases, such as complex disability discrimination and career long loss claims.

Petar is called upon by a trusted pool of major national and leading regional firms for his expertise and for the straightforward way in which he advises. His clients, lay and professional alike, particularly value the way in which he can ‘tell it straight’, though with tact and empathy.
