Howard Stevens KC
‘Howard is an absolute pleasure to work with and has all the qualities you want in a KC. He is a legal powerhouse.'
3 Hare Court is ‘an excellent set in relation to travel claims and all injury claims relating to accidents abroad’. Recent instructions for the personal injury team include Katherine Deal KC representing the claimant, a reality television personality, who was injured in a fall during filming a reality show in Argentina and subsequently brought a claim against a Californian television production company. The claim involves complex issues of validity under Californian law, as the client had signed a waiver in advance of filming, and Argentinian legal issues involving safety on set. In a separate matter, Andrew Young acted for a claimant who had suffered a serious head injury while on a package holiday in Austria, after she slipped on ice on a mountain path and slid down a glacier.
