Position

Richard is one of the most well-known and well-respected silks at the personal injury bar. 

He is vastly experienced, having appeared in such seminal cases as Wells v Wells, Masterman-Lister and Cain v Francis. 

He is instructed on behalf of both claimants and defendants and regularly acts for and against most major insurers, and in cases involving the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. 

He is a member of the Ogden Committee. 

A significant percentage of his current practice is as a mediator. His expertise in the field and his pragmatic and friendly  style appeal to all sides. That coupled with his judicial experience as both a Recorder and an Arbitrator means that he is able to provide significant help and guidance to the parties to resolve the issues between them.
