Ian has recently joined chambers after completing his pupillage with Richard Furniss, Sebastian Naughton and Philip McCormack. He accepts instructions in all areas of chambers' work, with a particular focus on areas below.

Before becoming a barrister, Ian worked in Public Relations, dealing with corporate and crisis communications for a number of business clients. This gives him a commercial realism and a calmness under pressure which clients appreciate.

In pupillage Ian experienced a wide range of clinical negligence and personal injury work, including fatal accidents, catastrophic injury, failure to diagnose, surgical negligence and chronic pain syndrome. He also has experience of inquests. Ian is keen to develop his practice in these areas and is of course willing to accept work on conditional fee agreements.
