Career

I qualified as a solicitor in 2008 and I have worked exclusively in the personal injury field ever since. I am a Director within the serious injury team and I act exclusively for clients that have often suffered life threatening or life changing injuries. For these clients, it is essential to have early rehabilitation and support in place. My first objective with any case is therefore to secure funding and ensure that my clients have the best rehabilitation team in place for their needs. I work closely with case managers throughout the lifetime of the case.

I have acted for clients that have suffered catastrophic brain injuries, paralysis, amputations, devastating orthopaedic injuries, brachial plexus injuries, severe burns, victims of assaults as well as bereaved families. I have also been heavily involved cases arising out of various acts of terrorism. I have represented children that have been impacted by E-coli O157, the severity of which is often not appreciated.

My objective is always to secure the maximum compensation for my clients whether this is achieved through litigation, joint settlement meetings or trial.

I run my own caseload as well as assisting Jill Greenfield and Keith Barrett with their respective practices.
