2 Bedford Row offers established expertise in individual gross negligence and corporate manslaughter cases, with members sought after for both prosecution and defence work. Christine Agnew KC prosecuted a waste disposal company and the company's yard manager following the death of a worker who had fallen into an industrial shredder; the company was convicted of corporate manslaughter and the manager of gross negligence manslaughter. Elsewhere in chambers, Alex Stein prosecuted on behalf of the HSE in HSE v FF9 Limited, a high-profile case following a serious injury to a stunt actor during production of the film Fast & Furious 9 in 2019.
