Who am I

I am a Legal Director with a wealth of experience in medical negligence claims, having specialised in this area throughout my career. I have dealt with a full range of medical negligence claims, including brain injuries, delayed diagnosis of cancer, and spinal injury claims.

Why I do this work

It is my passion to help people obtain answers where mistakes have been made, but also to look at how their lives have been impacted and what can be done to help them.

How I work with clients

I take the time to understand how a medical mistake has affected my clients’ lives and what support they may need. If responsibility is accepted, I’ll work to secure interim payments where possible, helping clients access care and treatment or financial support while their claim continues.
