Band 1
1 Guildhall ChambersClinical Negligence2025 | Band 1 | 13 Years RankedGuildhall Chambers is a highly regarded set on the Western Circuit, noted for its expertise spanning a wide range of clinical negligence matters. Its barristers are regularly instructed in complex surgical negligence and birth injury cases and have experience acting for both claimant and defendant clients. The additional areas of strength for the team include gynaecological and obstetric injuries and high-value claims arising from the delayed diagnosis of cancer. Several of the set's tenants also have experience appearing for healthcare providers and families at clinical negligence inquests. Members have recently acted in a claim for damages from an individual who claims failures in his mental health care contributed to him committing criminal acts in the course of which he was injured. Instructing solicitors note that "there is a depth and breadth of knowledge across the clinical negligence team at Guildhall Chambers."
