What the Team is Known For

Members of 12 King's Bench Walk are routinely instructed in a wide range of costs claims, arising out of clinical negligence, government litigation, professional negligence, personal injury and solicitor-client disputes. The costs team has experience appearing in the Senior Courts Costs Office, as well as the High Court and Court of Appeal. The set is praised as a "go-to chambers that makes me confident in its advice." Recent work for the set includes acting for Amazon in Riefa v Apple, Amazon, regarding an alleged claim that Apple and Amazon secretly colluded to inflate prices for Apple and Beats products.

Oliver Parkhouse is the director of clerking.
