John Beggs KC

Practice Areas

John Beggs KC is a sought-after silk. He is recommended as a Star Individual by Chambers & Partners, which records that “he is probably the best cross-examiner outside the Criminal Bar” and that “he is so respected that it is normally a fight between authorities and defence lawyers to see who can approach him first to represent their clients.” He has helped shape police law in the UK, appearing in many key cases of recent years, especially in the field of police inquests, police misconduct and vetting issues. Clients cited by Chambers & Partners note that “just his presence alone is enough to make an impact” and this makes him a strong choice for the negotiation of early and advantageous settlement in appropriate cases.
