Work Department

Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence and Employment Law

Position

Lorna practices in personal injury, clinical negligence and employment law. She has particular specialisms in international illness and accidents, cosmetic negligence claims and complex discrimination work.

Incisive, personable and pragmatic, Lorna works overwhelmingly by repeat instruction and is entrusted with highly sensitive cases, including those for and against vulnerable individuals. Instructing solicitors praise her holistic approach to litigation and ability to identify and push legal and commercial pressure points to ensure the best outcome for her clients. She is often instructed above her call date, appearing against more senior opponents including KCs.

Prior to joining the Bar, Lorna studied at Exeter College, Oxford. Lorna remains an international Li and Fung Scholar and has received the Tancred Studentship, Lord Haldane Scholarship and Hardwicke Scholarship from Lincoln’s Inn. She marshalled for Justice Barma at the High Court of Hong Kong.
