“I have absolute confidence in Nicola Jones's ability to get the right result with first-hand product knowledge. I love her robust approach in cross examining the opposition and it's always a pleasure to work with her."
Bilal Afsar, DAC Beachcroft
"Extremely reassuring and personable. Richard Lees achieves outstanding results and can be depended upon. Has exceptional advocacy skills and an approach that exudes experience in a calm, down to earth and very effective manner."
Nick Harris, Partner at Simpson Millar LLP
"Very, very pleased with the result and how you dealt with the case without any fuss as this was certainly not a straight-forward case and could have easily gone pear-shaped! Very impressed and look forward to instructing you again soon."
Instructing Solicitor
"Whilst working with Nicola, I have found her to be extremely professional and well prepared. Her client care skills are excellent, and she has always provided sound and clear advice. Our clients that she has represented have had nothing but good things to say about her."
Instructing Solicitor
“I have always found the clerking team to be professional, friendly, accommodating to requests and prompt in their response."
After being involved in a non-fault accident, the case was won at the final trial. I received exemplary service from Adam Lewis who was professional and diligent in handling this matter. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Our Credit Hire Barristers are well-versed in all usual arguments raised in credit hire cases and have specific experience dealing with more niche issues such as measure of loss, subrogation, taxi claims, and commercial/fleet vehicles. We handle multi-track through to small claims as well as appeals at all levels.
Many of our team members have worked as Solicitors, fee-earners, or Advocates before coming to the Bar. This gives Kenworthy’s Barristers a unique perspective on the life cycle of Credit Hire cases and a thorough understanding of the day to day running of a caseload. As a result, our team can provide strategic advice throughout the stages of a claim, from pre-litigation, through interlocutory issues, to advocacy at final hearings in the County Court and Higher Courts, including at appeal.
Kenworthy’s Chambers’ experienced team of Credit Hire Barristers can provide in-house training and workshops for Solicitors, Insurers, and Credit Hire Organisations.
