Inquests arising from deaths in healthcare and care settings are an area in which Lincoln House Chambers members have significant expertise and extensive experience. Our team of specialists includes members who not only hold part-time Assistant Coroner positions but and also members with significant experience in areas of law involving the regulation of the medical and care professions.

Both Chambers, and it’s individual members, are recommended year upon year in the leading legal directories.

Members are regularly instructed to represent the full range of interested persons in healthcare related inquests including bereaved families, hospital trusts, health professionals, emergency services, health organisations, medical and care staffing agencies, care homes and health departments within large organisations and local authorities and social services. We are able to draw on our experience and expertise in Chambers’ other core areas of practice to ensure that clients provide the very highest standard of representation and advice at every stage of proceedings in the Coroner’s Court and in any subsequent criminal or disciplinary proceedings. In addition to our expertise relating specifically to healthcare regulation, the team draws on the considerable jury experience of many of it’s members, which makes it a first choice for inquests where ECHR Article 2 is engaged.

A number of our members are members of the Attorney General’s Civil Panel of Counsel and specialise in providing representation in inquests to government departments.

The service of our members is complimented by a clerking service with significant experience in this specialist practice area.
