Overview

Barry McTaggart is a pupil barrister focusing on civil litigation. He commenced pupillage in October 2025 and is based in 3PB’s London office. Barry's primary focus is on personal injury and clinical negligence cases. He's already been involved in analysing expert evidence in preparation for a trial concerning a high value catastrophic birth injury claim and recently reviewed a claimant’s witness statement and medical records in the context of alleged fundamental dishonesty.

Immediately prior to joining Chambers, Barry worked for the Financial Ombudsman Service for two years as an investigator, with a caseload of 35 cases investigating complaints related to regulated activities under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, focusing on breach of contract, misrepresentation, and irresponsible lending. Earlier, Barry worked in financial services as an Assistant Fund Manager, responsible for equity valuation for a €1bn multi-asset investment portfolio. These roles have given Barry an excellent commercial outlook, knowledge of the financial services sector and expert analytical and presentation skills.

His transfer to the Bar was supported by Inner Temple scholarships for both the GDL and Bar course, achieving distinctions in each.

Barry is a confident advocate and has won a number of mooting competitions including the Inner Temple Inter-Varsity Moot, the University of Law Public Law Moot and won 3rd Prize in the Tort Law Essay Award from 12KBW and Thompson Reuters.

Outside of law, his interests include running, learning about wine, and ski-mountaineering. Before coming to the Bar, Barry led a team of first responders and avalanche technicians in the Canadian Rockies at one of North America’s largest ski resorts.
