Hari Kaur

Hari Kaur practices in the areas of Family Law, Inquests and Inquiries.

Hari has significant experience in the family courts in cases involving sexual abuse and serious/fatal alleged non-accidental injury cases. She is regularly instructed in cases where cross examination is required of various medical experts including: paediatric neurosurgeons, neuro – radiologists, paediatricians and geneticists.

Hari is currently instructed as a junior member of the counsel team on the Thirlwall Inquiry, set up to examine events at the Countess of Chester Hospital and their implications following the conviction of former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby of murder and attempted murder of babies at the hospital.

Furthermore, her considerable background in dealing with complex medico legal issues has resulted in instructions being received in respect of cases in the Coroner’s Court and from NHS Trusts where the Trust seeks advice as to whether to intervene in family proceedings where allegations of negligence are being made against the NHS Trust. Such cases are usually in the context of allegations of non-accidental injury.

The complexity of Hari’s practice is such that she is led by King’s Counsel on numerous cases and also regularly appears, without King’s Counsel, in cases where one or more of the other parties have instructed Leaders.

Hari is qualified to accept instructions directly from clients and is registered under the Bar Council’s Public Access Scheme, meaning that members of the public who seek specialist advice can come direct to her. In addition, she welcomes instructions from solicitors, in-house law departments, qualified foreign lawyers, and clients licensed by the Bar Council to give instructions direct to barristers under the Bar Council’s Licensed Access Scheme.
