About

Practice Areas

Daniel Shapiro KC is recognised as a leading silk who has “beguiling advocacy skills” and is a “fearsome opponent”. He is liked by clients and his solicitors as he is “approachable, pragmatic and practical”. Clients appreciate his tactical awareness, clear advice, and commitment to delivering a first-rate service, fighting their case hard. Daniel always seeks an effective commercial solution and regularly acts for clients in successful mediations, round table meetings and other forms of ADR. He gives a clear assessment of the merits at the outset, and, where merited and required, will stand by that assessment, fighting hard at applications, trials, arbitrations, or on appeals.

Daniel is recognised both for the effectiveness of his cross-examination (a recent example being Finsbury Foods v Axis) and his legal expertise (for example, acting for the successful appellant in Jones v Kaney in which the Supreme Court abolished expert witness immunity).

He is “A very impressive and persuasive advocate who is completely dedicated to getting the right result for his clients. He is very proactive and user-friendly.” Daniel’s courtroom skills, commitment and commerciality result in his instruction in complex cases for and against a wide range of commercial parties, insurers and professionals, in commercial, insurance, professional liability, construction, product liability, sports, and property damage disputes.
