Gareth Weetman

Gareth has spent more than ten years specialising in crime and personal injury. His criminal work spans both defence and prosecution of the most serious offences including murder, manslaughter, rape, child abuse, class A drug supply, money laundering and fraud. In relation to personal injury, he advises and represents claimants, defendants and insurers in all aspects of civil litigation including cases of brain injury, permanent disability, fatal accidents and psychological trauma. He has experience of a wide range of issues, including employers’ and occupiers’ liability, local authority liability, clinical negligence and breach of duty. The combination of these specialities mean that he is well placed to advise parties involved in cases that span both criminal and civil liability, such as health and safety prosecutions, road traffic accidents and disciplinary tribunals. His approachable style and considerable experience in trial advocacy have earned him a reputation for dealing effectively with difficult cases involving child vulnerable witnesses or serious sexual allegations.
