Practice Areas

Will Young is a highly regarded senior junior whose practice is divided between Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence, and Employment Law. Known for his "impressive technical ability and fine judgement," Will is frequently instructed in high-value actions in both the County Court and the High Court. He has carved out a significant reputation for handling catastrophic injury cases, specifically those involving brain and spinal trauma and amputations, often working alongside leading silks or acting as sole counsel in complex matters.

Uniquely, Will applies his deep understanding of medical and psychiatric evidence to his Employment practice, where he has developed a niche specialism in work-related psychiatric injury claims arising from discrimination or harassment. His background as an elite athlete, having coxed for Great Britain and Oxford, informs a disciplined and high-performance approach to advocacy that is consistently praised by clients for its "pragmatism, compassion, and strength." This crossover expertise allows him to offer sophisticated strategic advice on quantum and medical causation that few employment specialists can match.

Will is a tenacious advocate both verbally and on paper, able to grasp complex factual situations quickly and comprehensively and to present arguments persuasively. He takes pride in providing advice that is thorough, practical, responsive and on time, and always maintains a focus on his clients’ needs and priorities.
