‘Excellent set’ St John’s Buildings is home to a team with an excellent reputation for advising on the full range of personal injury matters. The group is adept at handling claimant and defendant work, and often acts for insurers and public authorities. Richard Norton is active in cases concerning catastrophic injuries arising from road traffic accidents, and the ‘practical’ Henry Vanderpump has expertise in industrial disease cases, which also form a key pillar of Alastair Wright‘s practice. Vanderpump is equally strong in handling polytrauma and severe brain injury claims. Philip Grundy is ’a master tactician‘ with ’a sharp legal mind‘, and specialises in advising on catastrophic injury claims, including amputations.
