Esther Gamble

Clinical Negligence, Personal Injury

Esther is consistently ranked as a leading barrister for clinical negligence and personal injury work by Chambers UK and Legal 500. She has appeared in the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court in recent years.

Esther prides herself on being accessible and responsive, and working as a team with her instructing solicitors. Professional clients often choose her for the most delicate cases, for her sensitive and empathetic approach and her ability to win the confidence of vulnerable or challenging clients. She also has a reputation for impressive attention to detail and an easy grasp of technical medical issues.

She specialises in cases involving serious injury of significant value but accepts instructions in lower value cases where there are complicating factors justifying particular expertise or skill, including novel points of law.

Her practice encompasses catastrophic brain and spinal/neurological injuries, whether arising from accident or medical mismanagement, amputations, fatalities and reduced life expectancy, oncology, obstetrics, sepsis and surgical error.
