Band 1
Individual Editorial

Bernard Doherty is regularly instructed by claimant and defendant clients in the most complex spinal and brain injury claims. He is a well-respected authority on insurance disputes, especially those involving conflict of laws issues arising from accidents in Europe and further abroad.

Strengths

He is my go-to. He is charming, very experienced and approachable, and he has encyclopaedic knowledge and a can-do attitude. He is also proactive and commercially minded.

Bernard Doherty is our go-to for any big brain injury cases. His knowledge is exceptional, his manner with clients brilliant and he has a calm demeanour about him.

He is brilliant. You give him complicated issues, and he'll come back with it simplified. He's fantastic.
