7 King’s Bench Walk

Crossing over with the set's insurance expertise, 7 King’s Bench Walk is ‘highly regarded and respected for its experience and strength in the civil fraud sector’. In one high-profile case, Richard Waller KC and Michael Ryan successfully represented the claimant in Malhotra Leisure v Aviva Insurance, a claim for indemnity against the insurer for declining to pay for losses under the COVID-19 business interruption policy following water damage to the hotel - defeating the insurer's allegation that the flood was deliberately caused. Andrew Pearson is ‘a fearless and skilled advocate, practical in devising strategy and tenacious in court, especially when running difficult arguments, and has very good judgement’. In a boost to the senior end of chambers, the ‘very sharp and tactically astute’ Jason Robinson KC was appointed silk in March 2025.
