Public & Fatal Accident Inquiries | UK Bar

Compass Chambers enjoys a sterling reputation in the field of inquiries and is preferred by instructing solicitors for its "wealth of experience at all levels". Indeed, the stable fields an impressive bench of advocates at both the silk and junior levels. The team has appeared in nearly all of the major public inquiries in recent years. Notably, advocates have been instructed on the Scottish and UK COVID-19 Inquiries, the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, the inquiry into the death of Sheku Beyoh and the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry. The team is frequently instructed by a range of government authorities, including police constabularies, NHS trusts, local authorities, the MoD and scrutiny bodies such as the Care Inspectorate. Additionally, the advocates represent private and commercial parties and bereaved families.

Gavin Herd is the practice manager.
