Our barristers are at the forefront of medical treatment cases. They regularly appear in highly contentious and landmark litigation such as Charlie Gard, Aysha King and Aintree v James which require responsive and experienced counsel.

The specialist medical treatment group consists of over 20 barristers with unparalleled additional expertise in public law, clinical negligence, media law, regulatory law and inquests. They act on behalf of NHS bodies as well as children (through CAFCASS) and vulnerable adults (through the Official Solicitor) and families.
