Will Young

Barrister, Outer Temple Chambers, London

Will has a broad practice including personal injury, clinical negligence and employment law. 

Will acts for both claimants and defendants in personal injury actions, although primarily for claimants. His cases involve a wide range of personal injury actions, but with a particular focus on catastrophic brain, spinal injury and amputation cases (both led and un-led).

He is also instructed in a significant, and increasing, number of asbestos-related claims, both as sole counsel and as a junior (for example one case, led by Harry Steinberg KC, that settled in early 2026 involving a claim for loss of dependency on a family business that was run as a joint enterprise between the Deceased and the Claimant – a slightly novel extension of the principles in Rix v Paramount; and another on-going claim involving low level exposure in an employee of a motor garage, exploring the boundaries of liability in such cases following Johnstone v Fawcett’s Garages).

In addition to employer’s liability asbestos claims, Will is also instructed in a group of product liability claims against the producer of asbestos products, in which he is led by Harry Steinberg KC.

Will is a member of APIL and PIBA.
