Colin Baran

Colin Baran is a nationally and independently recognised barrister with over 17 years’ experience at the Bar, and manages an active personal injury, clinical negligence and employment practice. Clients value his practical approach to the issues and rare ability to develop rapport and trust with professional and lay clients alike in the most demanding and emotionally charged of circumstances.

As a robust advocate who regularly appears before the High Court, County Court and Employment Tribunals, Colin also thrives on technically demanding advisory work and settlement negotiations. He is called upon by national firms and boutique practices alike for his methodical approach that leaves no stone unturned, as well as his articulate and comprehensive grasp of medical evidence and factually dense cases generally. Accordingly, Colin is in particular demand in respect of JSMs, expert conferences, roundtables and in cases involving a considered and tactical approach to litigation.

Colin has a particular specialism in claims relating to cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as non-surgical cosmetic procedures. He is renowned for his deep understanding of medical and clinical issues and how complex evidence can be deployed in liability and quantum disputes.
