Hailsham Chambers bolsters insurance expertise
November 2011 - Just days after beating rivals to the prestigious title of Professional Negligence: Set of the Year, Hailsham Chambers welcomes a new tenant, Simon Howarth, who joins from Crown Office Chambers.
Simon adds further depth to Hailsham’s team of 42 highly-regarded barristers who practise in the specialist field of professional negligence. Having spent 19 years practising from Crown Office Chambers, Simon’s move will enable him to benefit from Hailsham’s distinguished reputation and prestigious client base. In addition, he will be joining an environment which is widely regarded as being one of the most efficient, effective and friendly at the Bar.
Commenting on the continuing growth of Hailsham Chambers, the set’s Head, Martin Spencer QC, said: “Simon’s tenancy is the latest in a string of welcome developments for Chambers and our clients. In particular, his expertise in the insurance sector will ensure Chambers can offer first-class specialist advice and advocacy in an area of increasing demand.”
Simon said: “I am delighted to be joining such a prestigious set as Hailsham, and look forward both to strengthening my existing professional negligence practice, and helping Hailsham to increase its profile in insurance work.”
Simon was called to the Bar in 1991. He acts for both claimants and defendants across a broad range of different professions. From an initially wide-ranging practice, he has established an enviable reputation as a specialist in professional negligence and commercial law, especially insurance related matters, this forming the bulk of his practice.
