12 King’s Bench Walk has ‘a strong depth of knowledge and a variety of counsel to suit individual client needs‘ – representing both claimants and defendants across personal injury, industrial disease, insurance fraud and travel claims. Insurance-related personal injury work for defendants is the specialist area of Stephen Worthington KC; William Audland KC continues to be instructed for the RFL in the concussion claims brought by former rugby league professionals in Dyson & Others v Rugby Football League. Andrew Roy KC was made silk in the 2023 round, and was led by Marcus Dignum KC in Mathieu v Hinds and Aviva plc, a brain injury claim which led to the first judicial decision on provisional damages for dementia and featured issues of foreign tax. Navjot Atwal joined the set in January 2023 from 3 Hare Court.

12KBW is committed to promoting equality and diversity and creating and sustaining a positive and supportive environment for our staff, barristers, clients and suppliers.

We promote a culture where the individual is fairly treated, respected and diversity is appreciated. Equality of opportunity is based on merit, irrespective of background, beliefs and socio-economic context.

It is our policy to ensure, both individually and collectively, that we do not practice or permit any form of discrimination; whether direct, indirect, or by way of victimisation, against any person, or any harassment of any person.

12KBW is a proud supporter of, and participant in, the Bar Council’s Bar Placement Scheme in conjunction with the Social Mobility Foundation and also the Inner Temple’s Pegasus Access Scheme, providing work experience for university and sixth form students with the aim of encouraging diversity and social mobility at the Bar.

Members of Chambers regularly undertake pro bono work, including via the Free Representation Unit (FRU) and Employment Lawyers Appeals Advice Scheme (ELAAS).
