Overview

Eloise is a personal injury barrister with a busy practice representing both Claimants and Defendants. She appears in court most days - covering trials, CCMCs and interim applications - in addition to maintaining her paperwork and advisory practice.

Eloise frequently acts for Defendants, at trial and in the earlier stages of litigation, in claims involving allegations of fundamental dishonesty. She has persuaded the court to make findings of fundamental dishonesty, including findings of ‘phantom’ occupancy and staged or fabricated accidents, on a number of occasions. She has also secured a number of mid-trial drop hands offers. Her cross-examination has been described by the judiciary as “detailed and strong forensic examination” and she is known for pursuing matters “assiduously”.

Eloise’s multi-track work is predominantly Claimant based. She has assisted throughout the life of a number of cases and offered strategic advice accordingly, resulting in favourable settlements. Her Defendant practice also enables her to anticipate challenges and address potential issues at an early stage.

Eloise has a strong paperwork practice, advising and settling pleadings in matters worth over £100,000. She is adept at handling high value claims involving multi-disciplinary expert evidence, and has advised in both expert and client conferences. She is comfortable engaging with complex causation and quantum issues, as well as Ogden future loss calculations.

Eloise is developing her clinical negligence practice, including fatal accidents covering both the FAA 1976 and the LR(MP)A 1934. She has appeared in court and advised on many fatal claims worth over £100,000.

Eloise was recognised as a ‘Rising Star’ in the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Legal 500: Eloise is “excellent tactically with significant insight and experience to progress complex cases in fraught situations”, with an “excellent eye for detail” and “a real ability to grasp the key points of claim.”

Outside of work, Eloise enjoys snowboarding, salsa and running.
