Personal Injury - Scotland (Bar)
Individual Editorial
Kate Bennett routinely represents both pursuers and defenders in complex personal injury matters. She has notable experience acting in highly sensitive cases including fatalities and matters arising from third-party criminal activity.
Strengths
Kate has brilliant judgement, she is very up to speed with procedure, and her background as a solicitor means she knows the work back to front. She is a formidable opponent.
Kate is extremely conscientious and reliable, with excellent attention to detail. I always feel in safe hands if she is instructed.
