Edward was head of Chambers for 9 years until 2007.

He is identified as a leading practitioner in 6 separate areas in both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners legal directories. His practice includes professional negligence, clinical negligence, personal injury, education, police claims, and claims arising from the Human Rights Act. He has been instructed in a large number of the leading cases in these areas over the last 10 years.

Edward is described in the directories as a one of the “most stylish advocates” in the field, who is “extremely attractive to listen to in court, takes every point that he can and argues it with skill and force in equal measure”. “Polished, urbane and intellectually robust” with “impressive legal acuity,” he is “hugely persuasive in his delivery and simply top-notch on the law.” “Extremely urbane, he always turns in a polished performance that is engaging and hallmarked with intelligence.” “On top form and silk of choice to many,” he is a “tremendous lawyer and advocate, who has a detailed knowledge of cases and a smooth, assured performance in court.”

He is a contributor to ‘Local Authority Liability’ (Morrell and Foster) (4th Edition). In 2006 he was a special adviser to the Department of Constitutional Affairs on the Compensation Culture.

Edward won the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Silk of the Year award in The Chambers Bar Awards 2009.
