Personal Injury

What our personal injury barristers offer

39 Essex Chambers provides expert advocacy and advice in all aspects of personal injury, clinical negligence and healthcare. We provide a service that includes inquests, inquiries, criminal and regulatory proceedings and advice on insurance issues.

We can draw together teams of barristers who range from experienced silks to the more recently qualified barristers, to offer a comprehensive and cost-effective service, combining strong analytical, advisory and advocacy skills with pragmatism and approachability.

A significant proportion of our work involves attending mediations and other types of settlement meetings to represent the interests of our clients. 39 Essex Chambers is able to provide experienced mediators and a bespoke mediation service.

Who our personal injury barristers act for

The personal injury team represents and advises injured or aggrieved private claimants and defendants, multinational companies (both large and small), insurers and defence organisations, the NHSLA and other government bodies.
