Inquests, Inquiries & Investigations
Henderson Chambers has an enormous wealth of experience in inquests and public inquiries representing clients in the private and public sector.
The members of Henderson Chambers are ideally placed to represent the interests of properly interested persons in coronial proceedings by virtue of our dual recognition as a leading set in product liability civil proceedings and health & safety criminal proceedings.
Most currently, Henderson Chambers has 13 members of Chambers representing parties in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry including members of the team of Counsel to the Inquiry, and representing Core Participants in the Inquiry. It also has 4 members of Chambers representing parties in the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.
Whether it is the private sector (construction, oil & gas, transport, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, pharmaceutical, care homes, property) or public sector (Government departments, Governmental agencies, NHS trusts, police authorities, the fire service) or a mixture of the two (public/private ventures, Network Rail), Henderson Chambers has an enormous wealth of experience in Inquests and Public Inquiries.
This expertise has been drawn from decades of experience in the field (including in the Kings Cross Fire Inquiry; BP Algeria Inquiry; Clapham Rail Disaster Inquiry; Marchioness Inquiry; Ladbroke Grove Inquiry; Shipman Inquiry; Litvinenko Inquiry; and the Infected Blood Inquiry).
We have several members of the Attorney General’s panel of Counsel who represent the State in Article 2 inquests arising out of deaths in the armed forces and deaths in custody.
Henderson Chambers is listed as a leading set for Inquests & Inquiries in both the Chambers UK and Legal 500 UK Bar Guides for 2025.
