Practice Areas

David Thomas is an experienced junior with particular interests in property damage, insurance, product liability and professional negligence work. He takes on extensive advocacy and advisory work for both claimants and defendants.

Since 2018 David has been representing a core participant in the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry. He has developed a deep understanding of the legislative and regulatory requirements of construction and fire safety in this context. This enables him to provide commercial, practical advice on the many issues currently being raised over the remediation of tall buildings.

He also advises and appears in a wide range of property damage proceedings including flood, fire, landslip, tree root subsidence, malicious damage and defective premises claims.

David’s property damage practice is complimented by his insurance and professional negligence work; which give him experience of insurance coverage disputes across a wide range of written lines, as well as broad experience of claims against legal and construction professionals. David has advised extensively on the various insurance and professional liability repercussions arising out of the ‘cladding crisis’, and in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alongside his general insurance work, David has a specialist practice pursuing and defending claims on permanent health, critical illness (and similar) insurance policies. David has also developed a niche practice in respect of art insurance related disputes.
