Alastair is an experienced litigator with over 10 years’ experience representing clients in personal injury disputes.

Claimant:

He represents Claimants across a broad range of personal injury matters, including:

• Accidents at work
• Accidents in public and private spaces (occupiers’ liability involving visitors or trespassers, slips and trips, and pothole-related accidents)
• Road Traffic Accidents
• Cycling Injuries
• ‘Hit and Run’ incidents where the other driver cannot be identified.
• Animal Injuries
• Claims against landlords due to state of premises
• Sporting injuries
• Product liability claims involving defective products

His caseload ranges from straightforward injury claims through to complex, high-value matters involving serious and life-changing injuries and significant financial losses, including claims for future loss of earnings and pension loss.

Defendant:

Alastair’s practice also involves acting for businesses and individuals defending personal injury claims where insurance cover is absent, inadequate, or where an insurer has declined indemnity in relation to a particular incident.

His experience acting on both sides of personal injury litigation gives him a strong understanding of the issues faced by both sides of the dispute, and enables him to provide practical, commercially focused advice.

In a recent notable case, Alastair’s client faced potential damages and costs liability of £40,000–£50,000. Alastair resolved the claim within less than 30 working days, limiting the client’s total liability to £6,080 and securing a swift, commercially favourable outcome.

Outside of work, Alastair enjoys flying light aircraft and mountaineering.
