Kings Chambers ‘houses some of the best known names’ in the North West in the professional negligence arena, and the team has substantial expertise in handling actions brought against professionals including solicitors, surveyors, and accountants. The set is home to Andrew Grantham KC, who has a particular focus on claims against accountants, financial and tax advisers, and insurance brokers, as well as stockbrokers and surveyors. Lesley Anderson KC represented the defendants in Glasson Grain Limited v RE & S Baldwin, a case concerning a counterclaim against a farm agronomist following their negligent advice regarding the application of nitrates, which caused crops to fail. Mark Harper KC and Paul Chaisty KC are also key names at the silk level, and Martin Budworth is a notable senior junior in the group.
