Quintin acts for both Claimants and Insurers (by whom he is often instructed directly) including the NHSLA and specialises in complex, high value cases involving difficult engineering, scientific and medical issues. He has extensive experience of construction site accidents, Employers Liability cases, cases involving the duties of Highways Authorities and road accidents. Quintin has considerable knowledge of and interest in aircraft systems and Heavy Goods Vehicles-for which he holds an HGV 1 licence-as well as cases involving psychiatric injuries.

Quintin speaks conversational French and Spanish and is currently attempting to teach himself Arabic and Bambara.
