Overview

Jack Hickling is a civil law barrister specialising in personal injury and property disputes. He is based in 3PB’s Birmingham office but works across all 3PB locations.

Jack completed a significantly reduced pupillage at the London offices of international law firm DWF LLP in June 2022 before practising as an employed Barrister. Jack’s practice included all manner of personal injury claims, predominantly acting for the Defendant.

Prior to undertaking pupillage, Jack worked as a County Court Advocate and Advocacy Manager for a number of years, during which he gained experience of consumer credit, contractual, housing, and commercial disputes. He was responsible for the supervision of Advocates to ensure a high level of service was being provided to clients via training and auditing. It was this experience which led to the reduction in the length of his pupillage.

Jack is frequently instructed to appear in both the County Court and High Court at all stages of proceedings and has a particularly busy trial practice of fast, intermediate, and multi-track claims.

Jack is a hardworking and passionate barrister that brings a wealth of experience from many different areas of practice, and prides himself on his ability to provide pragmatic advice to clients.

Outside of work, Jack has a particular interest in both football and Formula 1 and is a keen supporter of Manchester United.
