Ropewalk Chambers continues to operate at the forefront of personal injury work in the Midlands. Jayne Adams KC, ‘brilliant on paper and on her feet’, is a disease specialist with particular expertise in mesothelioma and other asbestos-related claims. She also handles stress-at-work and catastrophic injury cases. Patrick Limb KC recently acted for the claimant in novel occupational disease claim Holmes v Poeton, making the case that exposure to toxic levels of organic solvent TCE whilst working for the defendant resulted in the claimant developing Parkinson’s disease. The judge confirmed the applicability of the material contribution test for causation to indivisible injuries (such as Parkinson’s) but found no clear evidence that exposure to TCE causes such diseases. With a reputation as an ’effective trial advocate and astute tactician’, Jason Cox is instructed by claimants and defendants in high-value catastrophic and fatal injury claims. Rochelle Rong stands out for ‘her grasp of the detail’ in cases as well as her ’formidable advocacy‘.
