James accepts instructions in all areas of civil law, with a particular emphasis on personal injury litigation involving allegations of dishonesty. His personal injury work encompasses RTA claims, public and employers’ liability actions (including industrial disease, stress at work and harassment cases), and occupiers’ liability claims. James is regularly instructed on behalf of several national insurers in suspected fraudulent road traffic accidents (whether staged, phantom passenger of LVI), fraudulent employers and public liability claims, and in credit hire litigation. A growing area of his practice concerns fraud rings and costs recovery against solicitors, ATE providers and other non-parties.

James Hogg – Deans Court Chambers ‘James has razor-sharp attention to detail, he is always very well-prepared for conferences and offers excellent strategic advice, and his drafting of pleadings is one of his key strengths. He really takes ownership of the claims he handles and seems genuinely invested in the cases.’
