    Kings Chambers is a well-regarded set on the North Eastern Circuit with barristers who have "unparalleled talent in catastrophic injury work and who are always willing to accept instructions" and well placed to handle a range of complex injury claims. Areas of particular strength for the team include high-value catastrophic brain and spinal injury claims, as well as industrial disease matters and cases involving chronic pain syndromes. The set is regularly instructed to act for both claimants and defendants, and counts several large organisations, local authorities and major insurers among its varied clientele. Recent instructions include acting for the claimant in a case suffering significant injuries after being struck head on by a van while riding a motorcycle.

    Stephen Loxton is the director of clerking.
