We are delighted to announce that Andrew Rauer and Jack Thompson have accepted invitations to join Chambers, following the successful completion of their pupillages.
Andrew Rauer joins the Business and Property Department, and Jack Thompson joins the Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence, and Costs Department.
Andrew completed his pupillage under the supervision of Oliver Caplan. He has been involved in a wide variety of cases across the Commercial/Chancery spectrum, including contracts, debt claims, partnership disputes, professional negligence, possession claims, claims under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996, and wills. Andrew has had exposure to many aspects of litigation, both on paper and in court and undertook a High Court trial early in his time at 18SJS. Andrew has also been exposed to Alternative Dispute Resolution, such as mediation.
Jack’s Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence, and Costs law pupillage was under the supervision of Nick Harrison. As well as focussing on these three key areas, Jack obtained significant experience in a variety of cases including professional negligence, credit hire and inquests. Jack has an expanding following of instructing solicitors and growing paper practice. He has attended courts across the Northwest on fast-track cases, applications, CCMC and interlocutory hearings.
