Hugh Preston KC
Superb measured advocate, who always has the ear of the court. When he speaks, the court listens. Measured and reasonable at all times.
At 7BR, Hugh Preston KC is leading the advice to the claimants in ongoing proceedings arising from a claim brought against a prominent pharmaceutical company concerning allegations of severe injuries and fatalities caused by an allegedly defective Covid-19 vaccine. Among the juniors, James Macdonald is representing the claimants, a group of Brazilian orange growers, in ongoing proceedings concerning a cartel claim brought in England under Brazilian competition laws.
