George Eyre
George Eyre specialises in commercial disputes and is recognised by the Legal 500 as a leading barrister in four practice areas: as a “rising star” in Commercial Litigation and Construction, and as a leading junior in Insurance and Reinsurance and Professional Negligence.
George has a busy commercial litigation and arbitration practice. He is frequently instructed in high value and complex commercial disputes including insurance, civil fraud, and professional negligence matters George is recommended in the Legal 500 for his “high-quality advice, written advocacy and pleadings”, his “first rate” legal and procedural knowledge and his “phenomenal engine for huge volumes of work”.
George’s expertise in insurance disputes encompasses a broad range of issues across several sectors, including coverage disputes and professional indemnity and CAR policies. The Legal 500 recommends George as a “very bright, up and coming junior” in insurance work.
George also has significant experience in construction, energy and infrastructure claims and is therefore often sought after for cases involving a combination of general commercial and construction/infrastructure issues. His recent instructions include several cases where fraud is alleged in the context of commercial and residential developments, insurance disputes concerning international energy production programmes, and professional negligence claims arising from construction and infrastructure projects. The Legal 500 commends George’s “ability to retain, understand and analyse a huge amount of information” and his “exemplary knowledge of both the law and of the client’s commercial needs”.
