Overview

Kim Wilson is a barrister and a member of 3PB’s Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence and Inquests teams, with a particular specialism of police and military matters. He also accepts regulatory instructions on a private and Direct Access basis, and is one of the few members of the Bar authorised by the Bar Standards Board (BSB) to conduct litigation.

Kim joined 3PB in October 2023, after completing a common law pupillage at another large Birmingham chambers. This provided him with a varied foundation of civil, criminal, regulatory and professional discipline matters which has assisted his growth and specialisms here at 3PB.

The majority of Kim’s work is within the County Court, but he makes regular appearances in the Magistrates and Crown courts to seek various injunctions, or to deal with associated appeals. He has also appeared for companies being prosecuted by Government agencies such as the DVSA, successfully utilising his encyclopaedic knowledge of road traffic rules and regulations.

Prior to the Bar, Kim spent nearly two decades in the Armed Forces, joining the Army Foundation College straight from school, aged 16. He went onto pass UK airborne forces selection and quickly become a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO). He served around the globe, including in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans, where he undertook various tasks including mentoring local police, leading IED search teams and reconnaissance. His unique background also includes extensive police knowledge and training, where he was involved in numerous high level operations including counter-terrorism and countering other serious criminality such as international class-A drug supply.

Kim’s keen eye for detail and high standard of work has seen many repeat instructions. He is regularly instructed on police related multi-track matters, which includes acting as counsel for the Claimant in a civil jury trial which was heard over 8 days.

Kim has also experienced the full range of Court Martial and Summary Appeals Court hearings. Whilst not routinely taking criminal instructions, he does take regular instructions in matters which include injuries and illnesses related to service in the Armed Forces such as NIHL and NFCI, as well as matters related to professional discipline e.g. SPCC, AGAI, MAA, CDT.

He is passionate about providing pro bono work, with clients often being UK Armed Forces veterans. He has been named on Lady Chief Justice Carr’s Pro Bono Recognition list in 2024 and 2025.
