12 King's Bench Walk stands out for its impressive claimant-side employment practice, which sees the barristers handle a range of claims on behalf of individuals in professional and financial services as well as the public sector. The "fantastic" barristers also have experience representing respondents. Members, one source notes, "are very pragmatic" and demonstrate particular capabilities in harassment, whistle-blowing and unfair dismissal claims. They are well-versed in cases requiring combined knowledge of personal injury and employment law, making the chambers a popular choice for disability discrimination. The set is regularly involved in complex employment cases including Kavanagh v Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, a matter concerned with various forms of disability discrimination.
Oliver Parkhouse is the director of clerking.
