Congratulations to Pankaj Madan on winning Personal Injury Junior of the Year at the Legal 500 Awards 2025.
Pankaj is a member of both 12KBW and Exchange Chambers. He was shortlisted in this category for Exchange Chambers. The Legal 500 selects finalists based on feedback from lay clients, instructing solicitors, submissions from the Bar, interviews with leading private practice and in-house lawyers, and the Legal 500 team of researchers. The awards celebrate the finest barristers, chambers, clerks and legal expertise.
Called to the Bar in 1997, Pankaj specialises in severe and catastrophic injury cases, some with a potential value of over £20m. Most involve brain injury in particular.
His practice extends beyond the courtroom as a writer and lecturer, contributing to the body of knowledge in this area with recent publications such as “A Practical Guide to Catastrophic Brain Injury Claims” published in June 2024.
He sits as a Deputy District Judge (since 2010) and is the first lawyer ever to sit on the Royal Society of Medicine, Pain Section Council.
All of us at 12KBW warmly congratulate Pankaj on this richly deserved award.
