Clinical Negligence - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
Hailsham Chambers is described by instructing solicitors as hosting "an excellent cohort of very experienced counsel" who are "willing to go the extra mile to achieve the best possible result." The team is highly regarded for its expert representation of both claimants and defendants in a wide range of clinical negligence cases, and offers considerable strength in brain and spinal injury, obstetric and fatal claims. Members are also recognised for their adroit handling of claims involving allegations of surgical negligence and failures in diagnoses. Its barristers recently acted in JD v Circle Healthcare, a brain damage claim following surgery. The case raises important points of law surrounding private healthcare treatment.
Stephen Smith is the senior clerk.
