Career
Senior Associate Amy is a clinical negligence solicitor in the injury and medical claims department. Amy qualified in 2016 after working as a Court of Protection Paralegal and then training at the firm. She works closely with Dr Jock Mackenzie specialising in claimant clinical negligence. She assists on some of his complex and high-value clinical negligence cases as well as running her own files, and is the lead solicitor in her own cases. Amy’s practice involves all aspects of clinical negligence, including misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis of cancer, childbirth injury, sepsis, and surgical and clinical error. She she has a particular interest in claims involving private healthcare institutions.
Amy and Jock have had high profile trials heard in the High Court in London and Court of Appeal. Their cases of Kennedy v Frankel [2019] EWHC 106 (QB) involved a failure by the treating neurologist to respond adequately to clear information that the Claimant was suffering from an Impulse Control Disorder, and Hewes v West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust & Others [2018] EWHC 1345 (QB) successfully appealed a decision by the interim Master to dismiss the Claimant’s claim against the Third Defendant by way of summary judgment. Other cases Amy has worked on include securing compensation for bereaved parents when their daughter died of congenital pneumonia caused by ß-haemolytic Group B Streptococcus (“Group B Strep”) and settling a claim after a woman suffered catastrophic neurological injuries following a pericardiocentesis procedure.
In her recent matters, Amy settled a claim for a woman who suffered a bladder injury following a caesarean section, and also achieved a seven figure settlement for a lady who was left with a permanent stoma following hernia repair surgery.
Amy is recognised in The Legal 500 Directory as a “Key Lawyer”.
