Edward Bishop

Year Of Call: 1985

Edward specialises in clinical negligence, personal injury and police law.

He is recommended as a leading junior by the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners in the fields of personal injury, clinical negligence, professional discipline and regulatory law, police law, and human rights and civil liberties. Current editions of these directories describe Edward as “thorough, knowledgeable and approachable”, “extremely able across the board,” “he pieces cases together extremely well, as he is meticulous in his preparation and presentation [and] never lets you down.”

Edward acts for both claimants and defendants and has expertise in a broad range of high value claims. His police work is exclusively for defendants; he recently appeared in the House of Lords in Van Colle v Chief Constable of Hertfordshire Police and Smith v Chief Constable of Sussex Police.

Edward is a member of the Personal Injuries Bar Association executive committee and a contributor to its Personal Injuries Handbook. He is also on the editorial board of Kemp and Kemp on The Quantum of Damages and is a contributor to “Emergency Services Law and Liability” published by Jordans.
