Career
Called 2008.
Harry is a Product Liability specialist and sits as a Coroner in Inner North London, covering Camden, Islington, Tower Hamlets and Hackney.
He is also the Founder and Head of the newly formed Institute of Neurotechnology & Law.
As counsel he is recognised as a leading junior in the directories and in recent years has been involved in some of the most high profile and heavyweight litigation in the field.
Harry enjoys very high quality instructions including, in 2023, a claim involving a very prominent member of the Royal Family and acting as standing counsel to one of the world’s largest oil companies on human rights issues in a particular region.
Over the years Harry’s professional clients have included amongst others Linklaters, Clifford Chance and Simmons & Simmons, whilst recent lay clients come from those in the Oil, Gas, E-cigarette, Home Electronics, Healthcare Equipment, and White Goods sectors.
His aim, in short, is to combine excellence with approachability; intellectual rigour with a down-to-earth attitude and common sense.
He provides advice with meticulous detail (“a very detailed and focused counsel, who never misses a trick” – Legal 500) but if matters go to trial “Harry is a fierce advocate who is able to think outside the box” (Chambers & Partners 2023) and who “fights his corner hard” (Chambers & Partners 2021).
