Alan Roxburgh

Alan Roxburgh acted as counsel to the Bloody Sunday Inquiry from shortly after it was established in 1998 until its conclusion twelve years later. He was involved throughout in advising and assisting the Tribunal chaired by Lord Saville of Newdigate, and took a major part in the hearings in Northern Ireland and in London. The Inquiry was of unprecedented length and complexity, and received the written or oral evidence of more than 2,400 witnesses. The ten volumes of the Tribunal's report were published on 15 June 2010.

Before the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, Alan Roxburgh had appeared in the British Coal Respiratory Disease Litigation, in which he acted for the defendants at the trial of the lead actions in the largest occupational disease group litigation ever conducted in England. He had also represented the first defendants in one of the longest trials held in the Commercial Court, Nederlandse Reassurantie Groep Holding NV v Bacon & Woodrow, a professional negligence claim relating to the acquisition of a reinsurance company.

Alan Roxburgh has now returned to a general commercial practice.
