David Watson

Litigation Executive

David joined Watson Ramsbottom in May 2019 as a Litigation Executive having amassed over a decade of litigation experience representing companies and firms, both nationally and internationally. Having been asked to advise, design and implement debt recovery procedures, David brings his wealth of knowledge of enforcement proceedings to advise his clients, not only the merits of their case, but also upon prospects of recovering any judgement awarded.

David attributes his success as a litigator to the team he works with including an excellent team of secretaries, paralegals, trainees, and solicitors which ensures that case work is appropriately distributed to keep costs reasonable and proportionate to the sums involved. David has built up a network of specialist barristers, and instructs barristers from Junior Counsel to Kings Counsel, which combined with his litigation colleagues, ensures client’s get the benefit of a full legal team whilst not breaking the bank. David also works closely with other departments within Watson Ramsbottom and his client’s benefit from instructing a firm that is multi-disciplined so their interests can be looked after by the same firm.

Whilst David can take instructions on a wide variety of cases nationally, David regularly takes instructions in Lancashire, Manchester and Yorkshire on;
