The talk will focus on what you need to look out for when considering bringing or defending a claim; the evidence required; what happens before litigation; and what you do during it. Specific cases studies from the front line and in front of the bench.
This is a free event and will be accredited with 1 CPD hour. Booking is required – places will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
SPEAKERS
Patrick Kerr
Barrister, 12 King’s Bench Walk
Patrick helps run the clinical negligence team in Chambers, his practice in this area having grown significantly in the last few years. His recent cases include causation issues surrounding late diagnosis, negligent plastic surgery; and poor treatment of sporting injuries. He also regularly deals with professional negligence claims including those involving potential solicitors’ negligence.
Before joining the Bar, Patrick worked in America as a political aide; and in investment banking in London. He has a keen interest in Irish history and politics and was called to the Northern Irish Bar in 2008. He is also a sports enthusiast which underpins the successful development of his practice in the insurance and personal injury aspects of sports law.
