12 King’s Bench Walk has an outstanding reputation for excellence in personal injury, clinical negligence, costs, employment, industrial disease and international travel claims. We have many other rapidly expanding specialist practice groups related to these core practice areas.  

Chambers has been ranked Band 1 for Personal Injury by the legal directories over the past 16 years. We are five-time winners of Personal Injury Set of the Year, confirming our pre-eminence in this area of law. 12KBW benefits from highly ranked members across all our core areas including 17 silks. Our Practice Management Team is consistently recommended for exceptional clerking in Chambers & Partners and the Legal 500.

12KBW barristers are at the forefront of developments in the law, having been instructed in many of the leading tort cases of recent times. We are professional and dedicated, whilst remaining approachable and friendly. Our barristers come from a range of backgrounds and we are proud of our record of recruitment based purely on merit.

In contrast to many other civil sets, 12KBW is able to offer a service to clients, both claimants and defendants, from the smallest portal or small claims track case, to the most complex legal point in the Supreme Court or European Court of Justice. We cover civil and employment cases throughout England and Wales, employment cases in Scotland, and a range of cases in other jurisdictions.

Our expertise

The depth and breadth of the expertise of our barristers, together with the ethos of working together in the interests of our clients, marks us out in the marketplace. Whilst we are all self-employed barristers, 12KBW has always prided itself on its cohesive and supportive culture.

Team structure

12KBW is led by Steven Snowden KC, Head of Chambers, supported by our Management Committee. 12KBW’s Business Support Team, led by Oliver Parkhouse, Director of Clerking, provides clients and barristers alike with an efficient, proactive and effective service.

A number of our barristers sit as judges – including Recorders and Deputy District Judges – and also act as arbitrators or qualified mediators.
