Inquests & Public Inquiries

Christian Howells appears in high-profile public inquiries and Article 2 inquests involving the NHS, prisons and other public services. He acts for both bereaved families and state agents, and has been instructed to represent the Welsh Government in the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

Christian is a very strong junior who is able to see beyond the status quo.

Christian is our go-to barrister for public law matters and inquiries. He's a very safe pair of hands.

Lloyd Williams KC tends to represent the bereaved at inquests involving the police, or in matters investigating health and safety failures. He has also attracted an important instruction in the Infected Blood Inquiry.

Lloyd is very good with clients; he develops a good rapport with them. He has an excellent questioning technique, where the witness will tell him everything he wants to know.

Nia Gowman has an active inquests practice, with particular expertise in acting for healthcare sector clients in Article 2 inquests. Gowman has been instructed for bereaved families in the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

I rate Nia very highly. She punches above her call, and her advocacy is very impressive.
