Elliot acts for Claimants and Defendants across the full range of serious injury litigation. In particular, Elliot has experience in road traffic claims, as well as claims involving employers’ liability, occupiers’ liability and public liability.

Elliot is regularly instructed for liability trials and hearings on quantum and appears at CCMCs, interlocutory hearings, mediations and joint settlement meetings. Elliot is a member of the Attorney General's C Panel of Junior Counsel and acts for a number of government departments.

Elliot deals with increasingly complex multi-track cases from the initial advisory stage right through to trial. In addition to his advocacy work, Elliot maintains a busy paper practice. He frequently advises on both liability and quantum in addition to drafting pleadings and statements of case.
