Chris Deacon Email & Phone Number

I am a Partner in the International Injury department at Stewarts. I am ranked as a leading international injury and travel lawyer in Chambers and The Legal 500, where we are described as “the go-to firm on a range of high-value catastrophic injury claims abroad”. I am individually recognised as a “talented lawyer” “outstanding” with “good judgement and a calm approach”. Satisfied clients have praised my “invaluable ability to put technical terms into language a lay client can understand”.Throughout my career I have specialised in acting for the victims of serious accidents abroad resulting in life-changing injuries, and in disputes with tour operators, hotels, travel providers and insurers. The international injury department at Stewarts has been involved in many of the leading cases that have shaped the law in this fast-changing area, enabling our clients to win record-breaking compensation awards. I pursue cases both in the UK courts and in overseas jurisdictions, when necessary calling on our strategic alliances with law firms around the world.Prior to qualifying as a solicitor, I studied European law and French law at the University of Warwick and Faculty of Law, Lille II, France. I am fluent in French, with my background in international law meaning I am well placed to advise in relation to claims arising from incidents across the globe including Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia.I regularly write on issues of interest to my practice area and my latest publications are usually shared on LinkedIn. I have appeared on BBC radio and local news commenting on travel law related issues. I am the main point of contact in the firm's partnership with the FCO Travel Aware campaign, international and British embassies and Secretary to the APIL International Special Interest Group.

Listed skills include Personal Injury, Consumer Law, Travel Insurance, Aviation Law, and 11 others.
