Sam is predominantly instructed on the multi-track. He represents both Claimants and Defendants (predominantly Claimants). He is often instructed in complex matters including brain injuries and complex regional pain syndrome. In legal directories he is described as “passionate and dedicated”, with “a great sense of judgment” and “advice always concise and straight to the point”. He was recently instructed on behalf of the Claimant in a matter that settled for £300,000, and regularly drafts schedules of loss valued in the same sort of region.
A case of Sam’s was recently published in the Law Society Gazette, which is thought to be the first judicial finding of dishonesty against a defendant sounding in the disapplication of fixed costs: Claimant in PI case beats fixed costs by proving defendant's dishonesty | Law Gazette
