Covering sectors such as medical devices, manufacturing, food and drinks, and agricultural products, 4 New Square Chambers excels across the full range of commercial and construction disputes related to defective goods, and multi-party claimant actions regarding consumer products. David Turner KC has a specialism in claims arising from fires, and continues to act for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in litigation related to the Grenfell Tower fire, against the manufacturer of the flammable cladding panels and its parent company, and against the manufacturer of a fridge freezer. Lead junior in both of these proceedings, Isabel Barter joined from 2 Temple Gardens in December 2023, and is also instructed to handle claims arising from an electrical fire that allegedly started in a Slush Puppie machine, causing millions of pounds of damage to a bowling alley in Great Yarmouth and neighbouring premises.
