Keystone Law’s personal injury defendant team draws upon Cordelia Rushby and Steven Conway, both longstanding figures in the London local authority and insurer defence space. The firm adopts a partner-only model, with senior lawyers conducting all litigation rather than delegating to junior teams. The group handles a steady stream of public and employer’s liability claims for clients including local authorities, insurers, and self-insured corporates, often involving psychiatric injury, fatalities, and regulatory overlap. The practice is increasingly active in advising on operational and risk-based matters, particularly in sectors such as media, leisure, and infrastructure.
