Personal Injury

9 St John Street has an impressive pedigree in personal injury work. The current set is the successor to chambers established in King Street, Manchester and notable former members include Rose LJ, Smith LJ and Swift J.

Chambers appears in the current edition of Chambers & Partners’ Directory in the top rank of personal injury sets on the Northern Circuit. It offers a full range of practitioners in the field from Silks to Juniors and members have developed particular subspecialisms including catastrophic injury work, industrial disease claims, and low impact and fraudulent road traffic claims.

Chambers has recently been refurbished and offers impressive and extensive conference and seminar facilities (including state of the art video-conferencing).

Members accept instructions from Claimants and Defendants alike and act for Trade Unions, insurers, public bodies and private clients. Members will act on a conditional fee basis and are prepared to accept instruction by direct access in appropriate cases. Several members of Chambers are nominated insurers panel members. The Group is not merely regional but nationally regarded and members conduct cases throughout England and Wales.

The personal injury group is committed to providing a service of the highest quality and has agreed written service standards with several Solicitors. All members of the group will accept instructions and return papers by e-mail.

The members of the group pride themselves not only on their high professional standards but also on their accessibility and approachability. The group embodies a teamwork approach which is particularly evident in relation to the provision of seminars. A list of seminars is available on request.

Tim Horlock QC
Head of Personal Injury Group

“The service standards of 9 St John Street Chambers are always of a consistently high level. This is reflected in the approachability and efficiency of the clerking team, as well as the levels of expertise and skill demonstrated by Counsel. The quality of service of both Counsel and the team of clerks is to a high standard.”
Craig Nunn, Berrymans Lace Mawer

“I always found the Personal Injury Group adept at a teamwork approach on complex cases, with a clear focus on the commercial consequences of their advice and the issues involved. A safe pair of hands.”
Andrew Underwood Partner, Keoghs

“Meticulous preparation and incisive advice from Counsel is the norm, coupled with genuine approachability and very responsive clerking. The service from this set is first class.”
Paul Stephens Partner, Weightmans

“I have used 9 St John Street Chambers Personal Injury Group for over 30 years and they have always given good, friendly and efficient service with obliging clerking and first class advice and advocacy.”
Pauline Chandler Partner, Pannone LLP

“I have worked closely with 9 St John Street for over 25 years and I have always found them very professional and efficient.”
Julie Wood Senior Partner, Thompsons

“When we started in 2001 we decided to only use barristers’ chambers that had the right qualities in their personnel and attitudes. 9 St John Street were one of the first chambers that we approached as it was clear that they had Clerks who understood what we needed as a business and the range of Barristers within the Personal Injury team was and continues to be excellent. They are flexible, businesslike, pragmatic and expert. We have always used 9 St John Street and cannot envisage that changing.”
David Bott Senior Partner, Bott and Company Solicitors

“The service they afford the claims validation team is first rate. The clerks are always helpful and go above and beyond the call of duty. 9 St John Street Counsel are always our first choice for fraud trials and applications in the North of England.”
Lorraine Carolan Partner, Beachcroft LLP
