Conor Mullan

Mr Mullan continues to practise as a barrister both in Northern Ireland, where he qualified in 2003, and in England and Wales, where he qualified in 2012.

He joins 3PB from another London set, where he built up a strong regulatory practice in health and safety and coronial law. A former criminal law barrister, he will continue to specialise in personal injury, clinical negligence and inquests.

He has been long-standing panel-approved counsel for the insurance sector, conducting serious injury cases on behalf of all the major insurers and their preferred defendant law firms.

Mr Mullan’s practice in Northern Ireland is predominately High Court civil law claims and appeals.

Recently, Mr Mullan appeared in the Court of Appeal of Saint Helena, utilising his extensive background in serious criminal trials to represent a senior medical practitioner against the Attorney General of Saint Helena.

The case follows a complex criminal investigation on the island about potential criminal charges following treatment of his client’s former patients. The appeal looked at the Caribbean island’s Supreme Court ruling on the arrest and subsequent bail without charge of the accused.

He also successfully acted in civil proceedings relating to an injunction on leaving the island arising out of allegations of clinical negligence, which ran parallel to this appeal case.

Michelle Marnham, head of 3PB’s personal injury and clinical negligence teams, said: “We are all delighted at 3PB to welcome Conor as a member of chambers. He is a very experienced advocate with a proven track record who will be a real asset to our teams.”
