Hugh Preston KC
‘He thinks out of the box. He is adventurous but still rooted in practicality.’
7BR is recommended for its strength in handling group litigation claims involving clinical negligence, personal injury and product liability law. The team is well known for representing claimants, however the practice is equally adept at assisting defendants. Simeon Maskrey KC is 'the kingpin of group actions', and Hugh Preston KC is active in consumer, product liability and clinical negligence claims. At the junior end of chambers, James MacDonald continues to act for the claimants, a group of Brazilian orange growers, in an ongoing cartel claim brought in England under Brazilian competition laws. Adam Korn is 'a heavyweight barrister and an extremely capable and charming advocate'.
