Personal Injury - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
1 Crown Office Row offers expertise spanning the full range of personal injury matters. Its strong bench of barristers is regularly called upon to handle complex and high-value catastrophic injury cases arising from accidents at work and on the road. Interviewees remark: "All the barristers at 1COR are at the top their game and very impressive." The set houses considerable strength in matters involving allegations of historic sexual abuse, and several tenants have been involved in some of the most high-profile inquiries of recent years such as the Rochdale Abuse Inquiry and the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. Members undertake work on behalf of both claimants and defendants, and count several health authorities, government departments and major insurers among their clients. Work for the set has included Raxworthy v European Metal Recycling Ltd, a multimillion-pound amputation claim arising out of a serious accident.
Matthew Phipps is the senior clerk.
