Practice Areas

I lead and manage a Serious Injury team in the London office. I specialise in complex serious injury cases representing clients with brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, and complex orthopaedic injuries. I also deal with high profile fatal claims and have a specialist interest in insurance indemnity and MIB issues.

I have built a reputation of handling difficult cases and getting results. I am passionate about helping our clients get the best rehabilitation after suffering life changing injuries.

I have expertise in securing substantial interim payments for the purpose of providing rehabilitation, private care packages and accommodation.

I trained at Irwin Mitchell and qualified into the Serious Injury team.

I am responsible for a team of solicitors specialising in a wide range of complex serious injury cases. My recent work includes:

-Representing a client at a complicated 10-day trial at the Royal Courts of Justice after they had suffered brain injuries in a road traffic accident
