Julian Benson
Work Department
Personal injury.
Position
Julian is a personal injury barrister whose work is focused chiefly on a balance of complex and/or high-value claimant and defendant work, typically involving brain injuries, catastrophic limb injuries (and amputations), chronic pain syndromes and disorders, and psychiatric injuries. He is frequently instructed in difficult fatal accident claims and has been instructed in cases against leading counsel several times in recent years.
Career
Called 1991, Middle Temple.
Julian is prominent in the commendations in the independent directories, and by solicitors and clients alike. Chambers UK describes him in its most recent editions as:
“Well known for the breadth and depth of his expertise in complex and high-value matters, including extremely severe high-value catastrophic injuries, complex pain and fatal claims. He draws particular praise for his sensitivity and understanding when dealing with clients…”
“A barrister who gives you confidence as you know he is prepared to take on complex issues…an excellent advocate”
“A “superbly tactical brain…he is not afraid to go where others fear to tread and clients love his have-a-go approach”
…and he “impresses with his “ability to come up with a novel angle or an extra argument.””
The Legal 500 also considers him “highly rated for complex PI matters…very able and willing to pull out all the stops when required…and very user friendly.”
