The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant problems for many business.

One time your business doesn’t want a problem is making a claim for business interruption. Fortunately the Supreme Court has recently clarified a number of major issues which make such claims more likely to succeed.

It is vital when presenting such a claim to get good, early advice so that you don’t miss out or incur huge delays.

I can advise on initial claims, scope of cover and challenging decisions.

As a direct access barrister I provide the legal and technical advice, drafting and representation to obtain effective, efficient results with your insurers, the Financial Ombudsman or at court.

If you do not have business interruption cover but you ought to have had then I can also look into whether your broker or insurer has been negligent if you were advised about your insurance.

To instruct me you can email me direct – chris@chrishegarty.com or my direct access clerk, Fiona, at Trinity Chambers (https://www.trinitychambers.co.uk/ 0191 232 1927 / fiona@trinitychambers.co.uk) to discuss your needs.
