Who am I

I’m a highly experienced clinical negligence specialist and Chambers-ranked Eminent Practitioner, known for my successful track record in complex and sensitive claims.

I have specialised exclusively in claimant clinical negligence cases since 1992, bringing over three decades of experience to my work. I’m known for my calm, pragmatic approach and for offering practical solutions to complex legal challenges.

Why I do this work

I am drawn to this specialism because I find the combination of law and medicine particularly fascinating. It allows me to engage with complex medical evidence while helping clients and their families make sense of deeply distressing circumstances. I find it especially rewarding to support clients in achieving answers, accountability and financial security, and to know that my work can make a meaningful difference to their lives.

How I work with clients

I tailor my communication to each client, ensuring they understand what’s happening and feel fully informed throughout their case.
