Position

Bradley accepts instructions across all of Chambers’ core areas of practice, with a particular interest in insurance and reinsurance, construction, commercial matters, professional negligence, property damage, and personal injury.

Alongside his Court work, Bradley is developing a strong drafting and advisory practice and is regularly instructed to draft statements of case and to advise solicitors and insurers. He accepts instructions for disputes of all types but has particular interest and experience in professional negligence, property damage, commercial, insolvency and construction matters.

Bradley has considerable experience in both claimant and defendant work, with particular claimant-side experience in drafting statements of case in subrogated recovery claims for property damage.

Career

Bradley holds a first-class degree from Merton College, Oxford, in Modern Languages & Literature (French & Spanish). He achieved a distinction at GDL and Outstanding in the Bar Course, for which he was also awarded a Queen Mother Scholarship by Middle Temple. He completed an LLM alongside the Bar Course and attained a distinction for his dissertation on contractual construction.

Prior to converting to law, Bradley spent 15 years working in commercial and operations roles in the travel and tourism industry. He specialised in setting up and running operations offices for multinational tour operators across Africa and Latin America. His last role before commencing pupillage involved the restoration and marketing of an ancient trail dissecting the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Because of his extensive background in business, he prides himself on an ability to adopt a common-sense, commercial approach to advice and litigation alike.

Bradley’s international experience in the travel industry prior to call to the Bar positions him perfectly to accept advisory and advocacy instructions in travel litigation, overseas accidents and jurisdictional issues as well as in commercial and regulatory matters relating to the travel industry.
