• Russell Moffat – Year of Call: 1998

  Russell Moffat is a civil law barrister with broad experience across the court system. He received the Sir Graham Day Prize in 1996 for company and commercial law and has since built a strong reputation at the Bar. His practice covers a large geographic area, and solicitors describe him as approachable and responsive.

  He specialises in personal injury cases such as road-traffic collisions, fatal accidents, employers’ liability, occupiers’ liability and tripping claims, acting for both claimants and defendants. A significant portion of his work is paper-based, allowing him to turn around instructions quickly. Russell also handles housing disputes including possession, injunctions, anti-social behaviour and homelessness appeals, complex construction litigation drawing on his prior project-management experience, and commercial matters including employment, sale and supply of goods, and costs proceedings.

  He is ranked as a Tier 2 leading junior in personal injury on the Wales and Chester circuit. Reviews praise his formidable advocacy, his ability to put clients at ease, and his pragmatic advice. Russell accepts Conditional Fee Agreement work and is qualified for public access instructions.

He handles road-traffic accidents, employers’ liability and public-liability claims, often involving significant loss-of-earnings components. Steven is particularly known for low-velocity-impact cases.

He frequently advises solicitors and appears before the Senior Courts Costs Office, County Court and High Court. Steven represents major insurers and credit-hire organisations, is retained counsel for a PLC credit-hire company and advises at board level on policy and litigation strategy. Clients and colleagues describe him as robust yet friendly and value his practical, commercially minded guidance.
