Work Department

Personal injury, disease, inquests, motor, credit hire, costs & litigation funding.

Position

Sam specialises in all areas of personal injury and industrial disease litigation.

Sam has a busy trial and paperwork practice. He is instructed by claimants and defendants at all stages of claims, from preliminary advice through to trials and appeals, and at all levels of track.  He is equally adept at navigating factually complex and witness/document-heavy claims as arguing narrow points of law or procedure.

He provides a proactive, tactical and down-to-earth approach to all of his instructions and he prides himself on being personable and approachable.

Before joining Chambers, Sam studied law at the University of Durham and undertook the BPTC at Nottingham Law School.

He went on to work as a paralegal in a large law firm where he developed an extensive knowledge of the pre-litigation and litigation processes and, in particular, gained a considerable understanding of personal injury practice.  Thereafter, he worked as a county court advocate via a large nationwide advocacy agency and has regularly appeared in courts across the country ever since.

Education
