David Sandiford

Exchange Chambers, North West

Work Department

Personal injury, Inquests, Police law, Licensing

Position

David practices in the fields of higher value personal injury, civil actions involving the police, inquests, licensing and immigration.

His personal injury practice has a healthy balance between claimant and defendant work.

In his police work he is instructed on behalf of defendants as is the case with his panel immigration work.

In licensing he has a particular interest in taxi licensing and firearms.

He is a member of the Attorney General’s “A” Panel of Regional Counsel and regularly receives instructions in high value personal injury cases involving service personnel, inquests arising from prison deaths and immigration work with a particular expertise in unlawful detention.

He is a strong advocate & negotiator but equally has a friendly and forward thinking approach to his practice and when appropriate he is more than happy to take an informal call to discuss a new case or discuss an issue in a case which wouldn’t necessarily justify a formal instruction.
