About DDS

The medico-legal representatives at Doctors Defence Service (DDS) have, between them, represented many hundreds of registered practitioners from a variety of specialisms.

Our medico-legal advisors provide local representation and broad-based and bespoke legal services and advice to doctors. DDS has been in existence for around 15 years. Our medico-legal advisors are indemnified for the work they do. We are not solicitors, but we may work with external solicitors on some cases. A number of our medico-legal advisors are qualified barristers in independent practice, working within the DDS collective brand, for our doctor clients. A number of our barristers are both litigators and advocates. Also, see our website terms of use for more details.

Doctors Defence Service - a division of Trident Barristers Chambers - is regulated by the Bar Standards Board of England and Wales. All of our medico-legal advisors are barristers in independent practice, operating to compartmentalised 'Chinese Walls Standards', so as to avoid conflicts of interest arising where DDS staff look after a number of doctors who might have conflicts of interest between them.
