Travel, Tourism & Cross-Border Claims
Ian regularly pursues and defends travel and tourism claims in the courts of England and Wales, as well as in foreign jurisdictions. He has developed particular expertise in cross-border road traffic accidents and claims against tour operators, and is a trusted voice on travel and tourism legal issues — having addressed industry conferences, given radio interviews, and commented regularly in the national and trade press.
Insurance
Ian's insurance practice is both deep and wide-ranging. He advises insurers and insureds alike on coverage disputes, and acts in professional negligence claims against insurance brokers. He has provided specialist advice to multiple clients on business interruption insurance, including the implications of the landmark FCA test case.
For his insurer clients, Ian goes beyond pure litigation to deliver strategic value: identifying subrogated claims opportunities, designing and implementing pursuit strategies, and seeing those claims through to conclusion. He also delivers regular in-house training, ensuring teams are well-placed to identify and maximise recovery opportunities.
Other Areas of Practice
Ian has a particular interest in liability arising from accidents involving animals, an area that sits naturally alongside his broader personal injury expertise.
