Position

Ella Davis has a broad civil practice with a particular emphasis on clinical negligence and personal injury.

She regularly appears in court and has a busy paperwork practice. She also acts in mediations and settlement meetings. She has experience in handling complex cases on her own and working with a leader. Ella prides herself on being a thorough and approachable advocate.

Ella acts for claimants and defendants in a wide range of clinical negligence claims. She is trusted to handle substantial claims without a leader, and acts as junior counsel in high value and complex claims. Ella also accepts instructions to provide advocacy at inquests.

Ella practises across the field of personal injury, including in cross border claims. She has significant trial experience and her adept handling of fraudulent and exaggerated personal injury claims is recognised by Chambers and Partners. Ella is regularly instructed by local authorities in claims involving complex duty of care issues. She also has experience bringing and defending claims involving chronic pain and traumatic brain injury.

Ella is regularly instructed on behalf of road traffic insurers in cases where fraud is suspected or alleged and as a result she is very familiar with the case law relating to fundamental dishonesty. Ella is able to draw on this trial experience to advise on suitable tactics in a wide variety of claims where such issues arise. In particular, she has acted in a number of clinical negligence cases involving exaggeration and other examples of dishonesty. She is sought after for her robust pleadings.
