I specialise in advising clients in connection with investigations, with a particular focus on inquests and public inquiries. I have advised clients in relation to some of the most significant recent inquisitorial proceedings such as:

  • The inquests into the London Bombings of 7 July 2005;
  • The Lakanal House fire inquests;
  • The Inquests into the Hillsborough Stadium Disaster;
  • The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse;
  • The Grenfell Tower Inquiry; 
  • The Inquests into the deaths of Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor;
  • The Brook House Inquiry;
  • The UK Covid-19 Inquiry; and
  • The Horizon IT Public Inquiry.

I provide practical, strategic and commercial advice to assist clients in conducting their investigations, or in complying with requests from those conducting investigations.
