Position
Frederick specialises in the fields of personal injury, clinical negligence and human rights, particularly inquests and actions against the police. He represents vulnerable claimants who have been subject to mistreatment at the hands of state and private organisations, helping them to obtain redress through a range of legal means, including civil claims, inquests, inquiries, and judicial review.
He is an experienced trial lawyer, regularly appearing in complex multi-track proceedings as sole counsel. He also has experience of working as part of a team in large cases.
He is regularly instructed in high-value claims arising from catastrophic injuries, where the pleaded value runs to six or seven figures. He has been instructed in high-profile cases, such as the Post Office Horizon Litigation, the Katerina Makunova Inquest, and group litigation claims such as the Primodos Case (regarding hormone pregnancy tests which are alleged to have caused devastating birth defects).
