Dispute Resolution, Chambers & Partners - Department: Band 2
“The team demonstrates strong depth and breadth, with solid expertise and the capacity to address complex disputes effectively.”
Medical care directly affects patients’ health, physical integrity and trust in healthcare professionals and institutions. When an incident occurs or a course of treatment is challenged, the resulting dispute may have significant human, financial and professional consequences for all parties involved. Medical and healthcare litigation provides a means of examining the circumstances in which care was delivered, identifying any potential liability and ensuring compensation where harm has been established. Our Medical & Healthcare Litigation team advises patients, doctors, dentists, nurses, healthcare institutions and other healthcare professionals and organisations.
We become involved as soon as a dispute arises in order to review the medical records, assess any potential liability and identify the appropriate course of action. Our assistance includes liaising with insurance companies, medical experts and the relevant authorities, seeking an amicable resolution, conducting mediation proceedings and representing clients before the courts where litigation becomes necessary.
Our team combines legal analysis with a precise understanding of the medical evidence and its chronology. In matters where technical expertise and proof of the causal link between the medical act and the alleged harm are decisive, it coordinates the various professionals involved and ensures that the facts, alleged liabilities and claimed losses are presented clearly and rigorously. It also pays particular attention to the sensitive human dimension of these situations.
