Members of Cloisters Chambers are regularly instructed in complex and high-profile inquests, representing bereaved families, employers, healthcare providers, insurers, public authorities and other interested persons.

Our barristers have extensive experience appearing before coroners and juries in inquests involving healthcare, workplace fatalities, deaths in custody, mental health, public bodies and other cases engaging significant public interest. Members are frequently instructed in Article 2 inquests, where issues of systemic failings, operational decisions and public accountability arise.

Drawing on Chambers' expertise in employment, clinical negligence, personal injury, public, regulatory and human rights law, members provide strategic advice throughout the coronial process, from pre-inquest reviews through to final conclusions and any subsequent civil or regulatory proceedings.
