David Boyle

Acting for both claimants and defendants, David’s core area of work centres on large loss personal injury, insurance and property claims, particularly those involving complex expert evidence and/or allegations of fundamental dishonesty.

David is also in demand across a wide spectrum of civil litigation including assault claims, actions against the police, clinical and other professional negligence actions, commercial disputes and international work, together with non-standard and problem cases which often fall outside traditional categories. He has received regular repeat instructions from government departments, local authorities, supermarkets, bookmakers, travel companies and other well-known national companies and organisations, advising on litigation policies as well as individual cases.

Always approachable, he has a particular appreciation of the need for clients to understand their litigation, no matter what the complexities, and has a reputation for both clarity and forensic rigour in both his written and oral advocacy. He is highly regarded for his pleadings and schedules, his trial and appellate advocacy, his client care, problem-solving, and strategic advice, together with his firm but pragmatic negotiating skills, whether at JSMs or mediations. His perceptive and analytical approach makes him the first port of call for unusual, complex and/or difficult cases.
