Many of his instructions relate to accidents occurring on construction sites and complex arguments surrounding vicarious liability.
He also regularly advises on coverage matters, issues involving jurisdiction/applicable law, data protection claims (usually arising in an EL context) and recovery actions. Rob often provides training both internally, to clients and industry bodies on various topics, including claims handling, employer’s and public liability principles and case law, serious injury damages and data protection claims.
