Sean Gould, Senior Clerk, says, ‘These are always very difficult cases, involving a whole range of skills required from the advocate, including technical knowledge about road traffic collisions, often complex medical evidence, and most importantly an ability to deal with those involved in the tragedy in a sensitive manner.  Richard has vast experience in dealing with such cases.’
