We are delighted to announce the appointment of James Pickering as Head of our International and Travel Law Team.
12KBW is ranked Band 1 for International Personal Injury in Chambers & Partners.
James acts in the most cutting-edge and high profile litigation, often with a cross-border element.
The legal directories describe James as “possessing a towering intellect with the ability to master the law in a wide range of areas from international law to English procedural law before deploying it with lethal effect.”
He has expertise in all of the complex legal issues that arise in international claims and regularly advises clients on service of process and the conflict of laws.
He frequently acts for tour operators, airlines, cruise ship operators, and foreign insurance companies. He has successfully represented catastrophically injured clients in cases arising out of overseas road traffic, skiing, and workplace accidents. Much of his group litigation practice involves international elements.
He is regularly invited to speak on cross-border legal issues at conferences, such as those organised by APIL and the Pan-European Organisation of Personal Injury Lawyers. He is the editor of Butterworths Personal Injury Litigation Service (Accidents Abroad).
