Mr. Sohom Maitra

I am a Consultant in Emergency Medicine and Major Trauma with over 14 years of Consultant experience and 24 years of clinical practice. I thave trained in England and Australia. My work combines rigorous medical expertise with a clear understanding of the legal processes, enabling me to provide impartial, accurate, and actionable expert reports.

I am Bond Solon trained CPR Part 35 Compliant Expert Witness.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in emergency and trauma care across leading UK hospitals, including international experience in major trauma and trauma surgery. This clinical background underpins every expert report, review, and strategic consultation I provide.

I ensure that every report, assessment and opinion set are thorough and comprehensive. I have a proven track record of providing detailed and helpful reports as well as successfully standing and delivering expert testimony as a witness in courts. I have been directly instructed by HM Coroners in my NHS and expert witness roles.
