Charlotte WatersSpecialises in Major Incident Response and Catastrophic Loss
Charlotte Waters specialises in commercial litigation and construction/engineering disputes, acting for employers, contractors, sub-contractors, insurers and reinsurers in arbitration, litigation, adjudication and mediation. Charlotte is an accredited Mediator and is a Solicitor-Advocate with full Higher Rights of Audience in all courts in all proceedings. Her work covers all aspects of the law of contract and tort from misrepresentation to negligence actions. She firmly believes that the secret of success is to get the facts right above all else. Many cases are lost because lawyers either confuse fact with assumption or are insufficiently equipped when working with complex technical evidence to examine it with the necessary rigour. Charlotte Waters has extensive experience of major incident response and investigations through her involvement in the Cullen Inquiry into the Ladbroke Grove Rail Crash of October 1999, and the three-year long investigation which followed the Hatfield Derailment a year later. Charlotte assisted Mark Scoggins defending Metropolitan Police in the health and safety prosecution over the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell station in July 2005. After completing the LPC at Bristol University she trained with a niche insurance/reinsurance firm in the City. She joined Mark Scoggins and Alan Fisher to start up the firm in 2002.
