Career

Jeremy is the lead Partner of Brachers’ Personal Injury and Industrial Disease team. He specialises in serious and complex personal injury claims. Jeremy is the only APIL Accredited Asbestos Disease Specialist in Kent, Medway, Essex, Sussex and Surrey.

Jeremy obtained a first class honours degree in Law from Nottingham University in 1989. He trained with Collyer Bristow between 1990 and 1992 and joined Brachers upon qualification, specialising in personal injury work.

For seven years, he worked for defendants/insurers. From 1999 he acted predominantly for claimants. However, he now often represents uninsured defendants as well , i.e. those facing historic asbestos or other industrial disease claims.

Acting for both claimants and defendants gives Jeremy greater insight into what his opponent is thinking, helping him get the best result for his client. Whether acting for claimants or defendants he’s passionate about getting the best result he can for them. He never acts for insurers in these claims. So, he’ll never let an insurer off the hook just for fear of upsetting an actual or potential client.

Jeremy is a member and accredited Senior Litigator of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and is currently the only solicitor in Kent, Medway, Essex, Sussex or Surrey to be accredited by them as an Occupational and Asbestos Disease Specialist.

As team leader part of his time is spent as a supervisor ensuring the team delivers a first-class service.

Jeremy is an active member of his local church in Ebbsfleet. He is a keen runner and ran the 2019 Brighton Marathon for Mesothelioma UK. He has written a (so far unpublished) novel (Magi-Legends of the Space Ark) and is currently working on the sequel.

Jeremy specialises in:

• Industrial and occupational disease claims
• Asbestos and mesothelioma claims
• Psychiatric injury and work stress claims
• RSI / WRULD claims
• Fatal accidents and serious personal injury claims
• Head and brain injury claims
