Richard Gregory was called to the Bar in 1993.

Richard Gregory was born in Sheffield in 1968. He graduated from Cambridge University in 1990, having read economics.  He then studied for the Common Professional Examination at Nottingham Law School.  After Bar School, pupillage and his early years of tenancy in London, he moved to Nottingham in 1998, and he has practiced from Ropewalk Chambers since that time.

Personal Injury

He has a very busy personal injury practice, including claims involving catastrophic injuries and fatal accidents.

He appears and advises in the entire range of personal injury claims, particularly road traffic accidents, employers’ liability claims, public liability claims, highway claims and product liability claims

He regularly represents both claimants and defendants at Joint Settlement Meetings.  He is involved in litigation from the provision of preliminary advice, through to conclusion at trial or Joint Settlement Meeting.

In the event that claimants are not union-backed or insurance-funded, he regards it as necessary duty of counsel to share the risks of litigation with solicitors and will enthusiastically accept instructions on a CFA basis.

He is also frequently instructed to represent the interests of parties at inquests.  He also undertakes CICA appeal work.

Clinical Negligence

He advises both claimants and defendants in all aspects of clinical negligence and the complicating issues as to causation and quantum which often occur.

As with his personal injury work, he recognises the need of many claimants to seek representation through CFA funding and the imperative of sharing risk with solicitors in doing so.
