Personal injury
Tristan is a partner in the medical negligence and personal injury team, based in the London office. He advises on all types of maximum severity personal injury work, including road traffic and aviation accidents, employers’ and public liability claims, abuse claims in the work place and otherwise, and high-value spinal, head and amputation injury claims.
He has a special interest in marine accident work, and a long track record of litigating in the Admiralty Court. With many years’ experience of acting for both private clients and a range of associations, Tristan has represented the Police Federation on numerous occasions, in particular acting for officers at risk under the Winsor reforms and where injuries prevent them from returning to front line or non-adjusted duties.
I’m committed to guiding clients through complex and often life-changing cases with clarity, compassion and determination. My experience across high-value personal injury and marine litigation means I can offer strategic insight while always keeping my clients’ wellbeing and long-term needs at the heart of everything I do.
Tristan is recognised as a ‘much sought after’ leader in his field by Chambers UK and is singled out by the directory for being ‘a very sound personal injury lawyer’ and a ‘kind, considerate litigator’ who ‘thinks things through carefully’. He is a member of the British-German Jurists’ Association and is fluent in German. Tristan joined Penningtons Manches Cooper in 2017 from another City law firm, where he was a personal injury partner for over 10 years.
