St John’s Chambers continues to host several barristers with considerable professional negligence expertise. James Pearce-Smith has a strong track record handling claims against solicitors, surveyors, architects, and other professionals; he recently represented a claimant developer in a claim concerning the design of a surface water scheme for a development in the Somerset Levels. John Dickinson, in part leveraging experience from his previous career as a Chartered Accountant, has experience in claims involving solicitors, accountants, and financial advisers. Joss Knight is especially experienced when it comes to claims against solicitors and construction professionals.
