4 New Square Chambers continues to enjoy a strong reputation for its representation of defendants in both individual product liability claims and high-profile group actions. Its barristers receive a wealth of instructions in pharmaceutical claims and disputes concerning defective medical products, including acting on behalf of over 100 claimants against multiple manufacturers regarding their pelvic organ prolapse devices. Members are also experienced in the handling of cases arising from major fires. The team is able to draw on the set's broader strengths in construction and insurance to complement its product liability offering. Members acted for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in their recovery claims against a cladding supplier as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Lizzy Stewart is senior clerk and CEO.
