Exchange Chambers

The members of Exchange Chambers integrate experiences across a range of varying legal fields, from clinical negligence to professional disciplinary law, to lead on high-profile inquests and inquiries on behalf of bereaved families and public bodies alike. Louis Browne KC has been instructed on a number of prominent matters relating to deaths in care, most notably representing three of the bereaved parents in the Thirlwall Inquiry into baby deaths at the Countess of Chester Hospital. David Sandiford is an inquest law specialist who has particular recent experience in inquiries into murders on behalf of the Probation Service, and he also recently led on a complex, four-week long inquiry into the death of a neurodiverse prisoner in custody. Sara Sutherland focuses her practice on deaths in hospitals, and also sits as an assistant coroner with experience in ECHR Article 2 inquests.
