Megan Griffiths
Megan is a barrister at 12KBW Chambers and practices in a number of chambers’ specialisms including general personal injury, abuse, clinical negligence and industrial disease.
Megan has a busy paper practice. Recent subjects include advising on all aspects of claims for psychiatric injury arising from historic sexual abuse including settlement negotiations, the quantum of amateur sporting injuries, the merits of claims for delayed and negligent clinical treatment and claims pursuant to the Human Rights Act 1998.
Megan is a member of chambers’ sports law group and sits on the Steering Committee. Whilst she cannot pretend to be much of an athlete herself, she is keen to develop her practice in sports law and to apply her expertise in general personal injury and abuse claims to the same. She has previously been instructed to advise claimants who have suffered amateur sporting injuries in gymnastics and football, and most recently instructed in industrial disease litigation arising from exposure in sport.
Megan is often instructed to assist leading counsel with disclosure issues in cases of significant value and/or importance because of her detailed and analytical approach. She was recently instructed as Second Junior in international group litigation for alleged breaches of human rights in the workplace by way of sexual abuse, harassment and gender-based discrimination; to advise on disclosure issues in a complex multi-million pound claim involving a traumatic brain injury and amputation; and to contextualise complex causation issues in an industrial disease group action.
Megan is regularly instructed to represent claimants and defendants in court and does so both remotely and in person.
She has been praised by her instructing solicitors for her communicative and thorough approach to case preparation in both her court work and paper practice.
Megan is a member of the Government’s Junior Juniors Scheme and of the Metropolitan Police Panel of Counsel. She regularly contributes to chambers’ various blogs and her articles have been republished in AvMA’s newsletters and on LexisPSL.
Before joining chambers Megan worked as a paralegal at two London law firms in domestic abuse and clinical negligence departments. She therefore appreciates the importance of working closely with solicitors to achieve the best results for clients.
Megan is happy to consider instructions on a CFA basis where appropriate.
