Called in 2001
Those who know Ben Lynch say his breadth of practice spans insurance coverage work and professional liability as well as telecoms disputes. Solicitors describe him as “very pragmatic, extremely thorough, [someone who] develops a good rapport with clients who are facing claims and a solid ally for his instructing solicitors” – those from firms including Fishburns and Mayer Brown and companies including BT and Bar Mutual.
A likeable, personable junior, he says: “I try not to lose sight of what the team wants and try to remain grounded at all times, always putting the client and team first.”
He names three people at Devereux Chambers as particularly inspiring. First, Colin Edelman QC, “chiefly for his clarity of thought and expression”. Second, Colin Wynter QC, saying: “As a pupil doing a third six, he showed me the value of being a subtle thinker and how then to use that in court.”
Third is Graham Read QC, after having “learned a huge amount from his approach to cases, his attention to detail and his deep understanding of that detail”.”
Methodology - Legal Week contacted over 200 solicitors, barristers, Queen’s Counsel and senior clerks to ascertain their views of London’s junior barristers over a four-week period. We received over 140 responses and followed up on references by email and telephone, selecting junior barristers from the total of over 250 who were recommended with 10 years call and under from all circuits in England and Wales.”
