Inquests & Public Inquiries

9 St John Street's Inquests & Public Inquiries Team represents and advises parties in all types of inquests and pre-inquest hearings.

Client Testimonial:

"I have instructed various members of 9 St John Street Chambers’ Inquest team over the last few years. The team are well supported through excellent clerking. Every member of chambers I have dealt with has been thoroughly well prepared, treated each instruction with the care and sensitive approach that these matters need.

I have instructed members of chambers to deal with anything from a one day Inquest matters, involving deaths in a residential care setting, through to an extensive, Article 2, five week Inquest with five interested parties. I would have no hesitation in recommending 9 St John Street Chambers be instructed in respect of any type of Inquest matter."
