39 Essex Chambers has been at the forefront of medical treatment and right-to-die cases for many years, with members being involved in many of the recent landmark judgments including R (Nicklinson) v Ministry of Justice, Tracey v Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Aintree Hospital NHS Trust v James. The specialist medical treatment group consists of over 20 barristers with an array of expertise and experience. These members also form part of the Court of Protection group who are praised by Chambers and Partners as being “widely regarded as…the biggest and best health and welfare team in London or anywhere else”.
Members have written and contributed to many of the leading textbooks in this field, including the leading practitioners’ text “Court of Protection Practice”, and regularly speak at cutting-edge lectures and conferences. Our expertise is supplemented by an unparalleled breadth and depth of practice areas including public law, human rights, clinical negligence, inquests, privacy & media issues, regulatory and disciplinary law. Members frequently act on behalf of NHS bodies, family members, professional bodies and the Official Solicitor.
Chambers is acutely aware that difficulties and disputes in the context of medical treatment often arise outside the standard working day. We are proud to offer a 24 hour service to assist in urgent cases, whether by way of advice or representation at out-of-hours hearings. We are confident that, given the range of experience and expertise within the group, we will be able to provide assistance in the most appropriate way to resolve disputes and seek court orders as necessary. Chambers has uniquely close links with medical mediation services and offers a number of members who are themselves trained mediators.
