What the Team is Known For
Crown Office Chambers houses a strong bench of senior and junior barristers who are experienced in the handling of prosecutions arising from a wide range of health and safety offences. Areas of expertise for the team include food safety prosecutions and cases brought under the HSWA. Members are noted for their expertise in corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter cases, and regularly appear in inquests and major trials. A recent case includes HSE v Exolum, a three-week trial relating to risks posed to workers from an oil pipeline. The team is well regarded for its representation of major corporations and their directors. Instructing solicitors emphasise the depth of team, reporting: "Crown Office boasts a wealth of outstanding barristers at both KC and junior level." Other interviewees state: "Senior and junior counsel are all genuine experts."
