Lisa Nasselevitch is undertaking pupillage within Chambers’ Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Group under the supervision of Mamta Gupta.
Lisa started taking instructions in August 2024 and has successfully represented Claimants and Defendants at trials involving road-traffic accidents. She is also experienced with drafting pleadings, and is keen to continue developing her paper-based practice alongside her busy court work.
Lisa is fluent in English with a C2 Level of Proficiency. She comes from Paris and is happy to accept instructions from French-speaking parties.
Before the Bar
Prior to joining No5, Lisa completed a Master of Arts in Medical Ethics and Law (2022, King’s College London). In her dissertation, Lisa explored the moral and legal concepts of responsibility in clinical negligence cases involving AI technology and ‘black-box’ algorithms.
Lisa has volunteered with several pro-bono organisations such as Z2K, Vocalise, and the Freedom Law Clinic, where she has developed her empathic approach to client care.
In her First Six, Lisa has benefited from substantial exposure to clinical negligence claims across various medical fields, including dentistry, gynaecology, urology, gastroenterology, orthopaedics, vascular surgery, amputations, obstetrics, neurosurgery, and suicide cases.
Lisa also had the opportunity to shadow and assist a Member of Chambers at a 5-day Dental Negligence trial at the Royal Courts of Justice, involving multiple Defendants.
Under the supervision of Mamta Gupta, Lisa has routinely prepared and attended conferences with experts, advised on the specific aspects and needs of a case (such as breach, causation, quantum, provisional damages, expert evidence, and settlement prospects), and drafted complex Schedules of Loss.
Lisa has shadowed various Members of Chambers in cases involving catastrophic injuries, road traffic accidents, housing disrepair, public liability, employers’ liability, and occupiers’ liability. During her First Six, she has drafted pleadings in an array of personal injury matters.
Lisa has shadowed Members of Chambers at several Inquests, including a two-day Inquest in which a finding of neglect was obtained. She has also been instructed to attend a 5-day Inquest with a Jury for a Noting Brief.
Lisa is keen to utilise her experience to represent interested persons and expand her practice into the Coroners’ courts.
