Since becoming a tenant in October 2007 Nick has frequently represented both employers and employees in Tribunals. He has undertaken claims of unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, discrimination, harassment, victimisation, TUPE, breach of contract and unlawful deductions from wages.

Personal Injury

During the first six months of his Pupillage Nick’s Pupil Masters were two of Chambers leading Clinical Negligence and Personal injury practitioners Richard Furniss and Charles Utley. Throughout this time he assisted with a wide variety of high value cases and subsequently developed and maintains a strong interest in these areas.

As a pupil and junior tenant Nick cut his teeth on numerous road traffic small claims and now undertakes a variety of Fast Track work for both Claimants and Defendants in relation to road traffic accidents, highway claims and ‘slippers and trippers’ amongst others.

Nick is happy to take on cases on a CFA basis.

Contract

Nick advises and has drafted pleadings and defences in a wide range of commercial matters including Sales of Goods, poor workmanship and general breach of contract. He has regularly attended court at both interim and final hearings and has appeared at appeal before Circuit Judges. Occasionally his practice has taken him to the High Court.
