Ben Ward
Ben’s greatest strength as a litigator is undoubtedly his ease of manner, by virtue of which he is readily able to demonstrate his significant ability to empathise with his clients, which allows him to quickly gain their trust. In particular, Ben is able to deliver and explain advice in a manner which clients from all different backgrounds can understand and digest. – Lucy Mackinnon, Hailsham Chambers
Ben Ward is an excellent solicitor who I greatly enjoy working with. His perspicacity is exceptional, and his diligent pursuit of the best outcome for his client while retaining a balanced view of the evidence and the litigation as a whole means that his clients are always realistically and well informed. He has an outstanding track record founded on his hard work, diligence and clear-sighted attitude. His compassion for his clients is strong but never leads to the clouding of his judgement. – Emily Formby KC, 39 Essex Chambers
Ben Ward recently worked with me on a case which involved complex cardiology. Ben’s tenacious understanding of the detail and his highly effective management of the process brought us a great result at the settlement meeting. Throughout the litigation, I was impressed by Ben’s ability to liaise with a badly disabled client and the legal team. He is a first-class clinical negligence solicitor. – Harry Trusted, Outer Temple Chambers
Ben Ward is a very good lawyer. He considers the issues in his cases very carefully indeed, and he has good judgment. He is always very courteous, but he will fight his corner when he needs to. Above all, he is a delight to work with. – Catherine Ewins, Hailsham Chambers
Ben Ward is a force to be reckoned with. He is shrewd, intelligent, and empathetic with clients on difficult cases. – Tom Gibson, Outer Temple Chambers
