Public Inquiries
Our barristers are frequently dealing with various Public Inquiries cases.
The team are routinely instructed to advise upon and act in public inquiries, in particular inquiries arising from catastrophic health and safety failures in public bodies that have resulted in fatalities and serious injuries.
Several of Chambers members regularly appear in Public Inquiries cases such as:
- The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
- Grenfell Tower Inquiry
- Ashworth Special Hospital Inquiry
- McPherson Inquiry
- Shipman Inquiry
- Stephen Lawrence Inquiry
- Victoria Climbie Inquiry
