Genevieve Isherwood
Senior Associate
Genevieve is an experienced solicitor practising in medical malpractice and life sciences, with particular expertise in coronial law. She represents healthcare providers and medical practitioners across the UK in relation to inquests, civil claims and regulatory investigations. She regularly appears in complex, multi-party inquests, many of which attract significant media attention. Genevieve acts in both high-profile, high-value litigation, as well as lower-value claims.
"I will always go above and beyond to support my clients and provide the best possible service."
"One of the things I enjoy most about my role is the opportunity to work with such a diverse range of organisations and individuals. I act for a wide variety of medical providers and practitioners, including prison healthcare providers, addiction service providers, out-of-hour service providers, ambulance services, charities delivering medical services, vaccination providers, NHS111 providers, sexual and reproductive services (including for victims of rape and sexual assault), GPs, pharmacists, health visitors, nurses, and surgeons.
In my time at RPC I have undertaken secondments with the claims-handling departments of two insurers as well as the legal team of a leading private healthcare provider. These experiences have given me a clear understanding of the distinct priorities and challenges my clients face. I will always go above and beyond to support my clients and provide the best possible service."
