William Audland KC
‘No nonsense clear advice on complex issues, his friendly client focused approach. Outstanding both on his feet and in complex lengthy legal documents, able to maintain and persuade forceful positions and arguments.’
Highlighted for its ‘formidable strength and depth in all manner of injury claims’, 12 King’s Bench Walk holds significant experience in handling a broad spectrum of personal injury matters, and along with its strong presence in maximum severity workplace and road collision injuries, is regarded as ’the pre-eminent asbestos and industrial disease set in the UK’. William Audland KC leads a team from chambers representing the Rugby Football League – the English governing body of rugby league – in a claim brought by former professional and amateur players of the sport concerning brain injuries; the case is running in parallel to a separate claim against the governing bodies of rugby union, which the claimants seek to join. Arun Katyar successfully represented the defendant in a contested three-day liability trial after an employee at a car part factory was trapped in a moulding press and narrowly missed being fatally crushed.
