Chris Daw KC has a wealth of experience representing clients in high-profile inquests and public inquiries, offering expert legal guidance in some of the most sensitive and complex matters.
Inquests and inquiries often involve thorough investigations into deaths or major public incidents, requiring meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of both the legal process and the broader public interest.
Chris provides representation for individuals, families, and organisations involved in such proceedings, ensuring that their interests are fully protected throughout the process.
Coroner’s Inquests: Representing families, professionals, and organisations during inquests into unexplained or unnatural deaths, ensuring that all relevant facts are presented and explored.
Public Inquiries: Acting for clients in major public inquiries, often involving national events or government actions, such as those related to healthcare, security, or public safety.
Investigations into Public Disasters: Offering representation in inquiries and investigations following large-scale public incidents, such as transportation accidents, workplace disasters, or events like the Hillsborough disaster, where Chris acted as Leading Counsel to two Interested Parties in both the fresh inquests and the subsequent criminal trial (his client was cleared).
