Park Square Barristers

At Park Square Barristers, the ‘unflappable’ Craig Hassall KC, who leads the regulatory team, is highly regarded for his expertise in handling serious health and safety and healthcare cases, and is equally adept at advising on, among other areas, food safety, trading standards and environmental crime cases. Richard Wright KC, ‘a naturally gifted advocate’, has an excellent track record in prosecuting in high-profile gross negligence manslaughter cases. At the junior end of chambers, Robert Stevenson is acting for the HSE in a case where a woman suffered fatal injuries after a tractor reversed over her. In another matter, Simon Clegg represented the HSE in the successful prosecution of a sole trader, who received a fine after an investigation found the trader had failed to adequately control or prevent his employees’ exposure to a hazardous substance on site.
