Ed specialises in serious injury work (mainly high value personal injury and clinical negligence cases) and regularly deals with claims involving fraud.
He is a very experienced barrister who is used to dealing with high value, complex cases and has a number of loyal solicitors, on both sides, who repeatedly instruct him for his sound advice and representation at settlement meeting or trial.
Ed is a personable and articulate advocate, who prides himself on getting the best result for his lay and professional clients, whether that be in negotiation through to settlement, or at trial.
His practice over the years has provided him with a wealth of litigation and advocacy experience in the Magistrates’ Court, Crown Court, County Court, Administrative Court, Coroner’s Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and the Old Bailey.
