At 2TG our barristers are expert in a broad range of complementary practice areas and we enjoy repeat instructions from a variety of loyal clients.
Practised advocates from the start, all our Silks and the vast majority of our Junior barristers are recognised as leaders in their chosen fields. Many of us are at the forefront of shaping the law in our specialist areas and we pride ourselves in having excellent industry knowledge.
At 2TG our barristers have excellent experience acting across a range of industry sectors and we are able to offer advice in an informed and commercial context.
Our combination of practice area excellence and industry expertise means we possess real insight into the commercial realities facing our clients operating in these areas. Secondment plays an important part of our commitment to developing our skills and understanding.
2TG is home to award-winning accredited mediators, arbitrators, adjudicators and experts with considerable experience of alternative dispute resolution.
Our barristers are also skilled as advocates in different alternative dispute resolution procedures and work strategically with clients to understand their commercial objectives, and then to resolve litigation as cost-effectively and expeditiously as possible.
Work with an international dimension forms a significant part of many barristers’ work at 2TG.
We appear in international courts and arbitral tribunals all over the world, frequently acting on complex multi-jurisdictional disputes. We are particularly well-known for managing cross border litigation on matters of jurisdiction and applicable law and appear regularly in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.
At 2TG, in addition to our professional advice, we are recognised for our excellent contribution to education and development. We provide regular high-quality training.
Our reputation among the legal profession and other clients for our first-rate webinars and in-person conferences is very important to us. We also contribute frequently at industry events and as editors of leading texts and authors on topics of legal interest.
At 2TG, we have an excellent reputation for dealing with matters in the Healthcare and Injury field and are home to many of the leading Silks and Junior barristers in this area.
In addition to dealing with the full range of clinical negligence and personal injury work, we also provide advice to individual medical practitioners and healthcare organisations on other issues that frequently impact their work and operations. This can be in respect of disciplinary and regulatory affairs, inquiries and investigations, inquests, product liability, insurance coverage, life and health/PHI insurance, cyber liability and data breaches as well as employment and workplace disputes. We are able to offer equal strength in depth in all areas, which is something that sets us apart from most of our competitors.
We routinely act for both claimants and defendants on precedent-setting liability and quantum cases of maximum complexity and value. We represent insurers, NHS trusts, private hospitals, MDU, MPS and private individuals. In respect of personal injury, we are instructed on the full range of matters from the most severe psychiatric and catastrophic injury to those claims which proceed on the small claims and fast track.
We are held in highest regard for cases with an international dimension including cross border litigation involving matters of jurisdiction and applicable law, frequently appearing in the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court in cases of this nature. Recent relevant examples include Roberts v (1) SSAFA (2) MOD (3) Viersen and Brownlie v FS Cairo. We are also routinely instructed in large, domestic and international group litigation concerning multi-claims of abuse and injury.

Our barristers are able to combine their healthcare and injury expertise with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of other industries, their regulations and particular demands. For example, we enjoy an excellent reputation in both Sport and Travel, where injuries are a frequent and inevitable cause of dispute.
We offer specialist knowledge in other complementary and interlinked areas such as product liability, where claims arise out of faulty equipment, defective medical devices and drugs; insurance, in relation to coverage matters including life and health insurance disputes; and employment where the set is well known for its employment liability practice, which includes stress at work, harassment and other HSE related claims.
