About

Practice Areas
I am one of the Partners in our very successful Medical Negligence team in the Birmingham office. I have extensive experience of a wide variety of claims and have specialised in this area of work since 1996. I head one of the leading Medical Negligence teams in the country and am fortunate to work with a group of people who are committed to bringing claims on behalf of injured people and getting the very best result for them. This is an area of work that is challenging not only because of the medical complexities of a case, but the emotional impact this will have had on the injured person and their family. At Irwin Mitchell we have the range and depth of experience not only to deal with these types of cases but also the resources to help clients with the more wide-ranging impact of their claim.
Career
Trained 1994 – 1996 at Challinors and qualified in 1996 and has specialised in clinical negligence since that date. Joined Irwin Mitchell in 1999. Associate in 2000, Partner 2006.
Professional Memberships
Member of Law Society and AVMA referral clinical negligence panels.
