Lisa Nasselevitch has joined Chambers’ Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Group following the successful completion of her pupillage under the supervision of Mamta Gupta.
Lisa has successfully represented Claimants and Defendants in fast-track trials involving road traffic accidents, credit-hire, Fundamental Dishonesty, Occupiers’ Liability, and Highways Authorities. She has frequently appeared in Infant Approval Hearings, MOJ Stage 3 hearings, CMCs, disposal hearings, and application hearings.
Lisa has developed a busy paper-based practice alongside her extensive court work. She is routinely instructed to settle pleadings and advise on liability, quantum, prospects of success, limitation, settlement tactics, and case management overall. Her instructions have notably led her onto multi-track claims involving atypical personal injuries, clinical negligence, Fatal Accident claims, and complex expert evidence.
Lisa has represented the Deceased’s family in a 2-day Inquest arising from the missed diagnosis of a Type A aortic dissection in a young man, and she is keen to continue expanding her practice into Clinical Negligence and the Coroners’ courts.
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). Her dissertation explored the moral and legal concepts of responsibility in Clinical Negligence 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 spare time, Lisa will never refuse a karaoke night, a gym session, a horse-riding hack outside, or a short weekend getaway back to Paris.
Under the specialist supervision of Mamta Gupta, Lisa’s pupillage has equipped her with the necessary skill set to undertake Clinical Negligence work from a very early stage. She has been instructed to advise on liability, causation, and quantum in several Clinical Negligence cases, including a Fatal Accident multi-track case arising from the missed diagnosis of a Type A aortic dissection. She is at ease in leading client conferences with experts in attendance.
During her pupillage, Lisa has benefited from substantial exposure to various medical fields, including dentistry, gynaecology, urology, gastroenterology, orthopaedics, vascular surgery, amputations, obstetrics, neurosurgery, and suicide cases. She 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.
Lisa has rapidly developed a successful practice in Personal Injury. She routinely appears in Court on behalf of Claimants and Defendants in fast-track claims involving road traffic accidents, Fundamental Dishonesty, Occupiers’ Liability, Public Liability, and Highways Authorities.
Her extensive paper-based practice includes Particulars of Claim, Schedules of Loss, Infant Quantum Advice, and Defences in fast-track and multi-track matters. She has advised and drafted pleadings in various Occupiers’ Liability claims arising from inherently dangerous sports activities. She has also settled several Defences in Employers’ Liability claims involving Indemnity claims between multiple Defendants.
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.
