Ben Handy joins St John’s Chambers Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Practice Groups

St John’s Chambers is pleased to welcome Ben Handy as a new member of our personal injury and clinical negligence practice groups.

Originally from Bristol, Ben was a tenant at 7 Harrington Street Chambers in Liverpool from 2008 where he completed his pupillage. Since being called to the Bar he has built a successful practice in the field of personal injury. He has regularly acted in a wide range of medium to high-value cases with an emphasis on employers’ liability and cases involving allegations of fraud. Ben has appeared in the Court of Appeal and has a personal interest in the law of clinical negligence.

Outside of work, Ben is very pro-active and enjoys many sports activities. This includes running the Liverpool Marathon in 2011 and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in September 2013, raising money for the Encephalitis Society in the process.

Ben says: "It's great to come home to Bristol after ten years in the North West, and I'm really excited to be joining St John's Chambers. It was their reputation as a top class set that attracted me in the first place, and everything I have seen since I arrived has only reinforced that impression."

Richard Stead, Head of Chambers said: “We are delighted that Ben has moved to St John’s Chambers. He brings considerable capability and experience to our already strong ranks”.
