Paul Chaisty KC
‘Paul is the best trial advocate available today. He is devastating in cross-examination with a pleasant but firm approach to the judge. He is the automatic choice for a complex case.’
Kings Chambers remains a go-to set for professional negligence work on the Northern Circuit, with its members primarily handling claims relating to actions brought against traditional professionals, including surveyors, solicitors, and accountants. Andrew Grantham KC is particularly strong when it comes to claims involving accountants, financial and tax advisers, insurance brokers, stockbrokers, and surveyors. Lesley Anderson KC is a senior silk whose broad chancery and commercial practice sees her handle professional negligence claims involving a broad range of professionals on a regular basis; for example, she recently defended a farm agronomist against allegations of negligent advice concerning the application of nitrates causing crops to lodge and fail.
