Pump Court Chambers

Jack Nicholls specialises in complex and high value personal injury and clinical negligence cases with a particular focus on public transport, logistics and rail claims.

He acts for many train operating companies including claims for collision damage, level crossing accidents and bridge strikes as well as for injuries and disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. He represents claimants and defendants in multi-track claims in the County Court, High Court and the Court of Appeal.

He also acts in regulatory matters and tribunals associated with his main areas of practice, such as Health and Safety prosecutions, disciplinary hearings and professional negligence claims. Jack is able to manage cases where there are connected proceedings in more than one tribunal which run concurrently or consecutively. He is greatly experienced at representing families and other interested persons at inquests. He has a straightforward but empathetic approach and is often instructed in any legal claims which arise out of the inquest conclusion (for example for clinical negligence).

Jack’s clear and considered advice and effective advocacy means that he is often reinstructed by solicitors. He is approachable and supportive, and is frequently sought out to provide a sounding board or second opinion in particularly difficult matters. Solicitors say “he is awesome and tackles complex issues like cutting cake“.
