inquests

Inquests are of increasing concern to public and private sector clients alike, involving close public scrutiny of the organisation, its staff and its procedures.  For your people, inquests can be extremely stressful and emotive.  Therefore they require the most sensitive of handling as well as maintaining good relationships with your coroner and shrewd legal analysis.  From witness support to advocacy at inquest, our goal is to provide responsive and effective support throughout the whole process.

  • our experience - appearing before more than 50 different coroners across the country, lecturing nationally on corporate manslaughter and hosting quarterly inquest and litigation forums
  • national client base - 50 healthcare organisations, insurers, local authorities, government departments, private and public companies
  • a senior team - two barristers, five partners and four associates based in Nottingham and Birmingham
  • experienced advocates – regularly handling high profile inquests, including those before juries
  • a one-stop service - from advice on related claims and policy issues to police investigations, Health & Safety Executive prosecutions and disciplinary action
  • bespoke training - on inquest preparation as well as regular seminars at our offices

Result: access to skilled and qualified specialists who understand the sensitivities of inquests
