Position

Megan practices in a number of chambers’ specialisms including general personal injury, abuse, industrial disease (principally asbestos-related) and clinical negligence.

Megan has a busy paper practice. Recent subjects include advising on all aspects of claims for psychiatric injury arising from historic sexual abuse, the quantum of amateur sporting injuries, the merits of claims for delayed and negligent clinical treatment and of claims arising from asbestos exposure. She has recently expanded her practice to include failure-to-remove and similar claims against local authorities at common law and under the Human Rights Act 1998.

Megan was recently instructed as Second Junior in international group litigation for alleged breaches of human rights in the workplace by way of sexual abuse, harassment and gender-based discrimination. She has also separately been instructed to advise on disclosure issues in a complex multi-million pound claim involving a traumatic brain injury and amputation.

In 2021 Megan completed a six-month secondment with Royds Withy King’s industrial disease (asbestos) team. She worked independently and in collaboration with partners and solicitors on a number of fatal and living mesothelioma claims. Her work included speaking to claimants and their families to sensitively draft statements on both liability and quantum and drafting complex schedules of loss.

Megan is happy to consider instructions on a CFA basis where appropriate.

Megan is regularly instructed to represent claimants and defendants in court and does so both remotely and in person.

She has been praised by her instructing solicitors for her communicative and thorough approach to case preparation.

Megan is a member of the Government’s Junior Juniors Scheme and of the Metropolitan Police Panel of Counsel. She regularly contributes to chambers’ various blogs and her articles have been republished in AvMA’s newsletters and on LexisPSL.

Before joining chambers Megan worked as a paralegal at two London law firms in domestic abuse and clinical negligence departments. She therefore appreciates the importance of working closely with solicitors to achieve the best results for clients.
