Practice Areas
I lead and manage a Serious Injury team in the London office. I specialise in complex serious injury cases representing clients with brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, and complex orthopaedic injuries. I also deal with high profile fatal claims and have a specialist interest in insurance indemnity and MIB issues.
I have built a reputation of handling difficult cases and getting results. I am passionate about helping our clients get the best rehabilitation after suffering life changing injuries.
I have expertise in securing substantial interim payments for the purpose of providing rehabilitation, private care packages and accommodation.
I trained at Irwin Mitchell and qualified into the Serious Injury team.
I am responsible for a team of solicitors specialising in a wide range of complex serious injury cases. My recent work includes:
-Representing a client at a complicated 10-day trial at the Royal Courts of Justice after they had suffered brain injuries in a road traffic accident
-Representing a client at trial after they suffered a severe brain injury when hit by a car, against strong opposition from the drivers' insurers
-£10.4m compensation for a client who suffered a catastrophic brain injury due to an accident at work
-£1.82m compensation and ongoing £55,000 payments for a client who needs life-long care after a severe brain injury
-£2.7m compensation for a client who had to have a leg amputation after being hit by a car
-A substantial interim payment to pay for a Exoskeleton ReWalk device which will let a client with paraplegia to walk
-Represented the wife and daughter of the man who died in the Crossrail fatality.
Career
I have worked for the firm since I left law school. I am surrounded by pioneering lawyers who are not afraid to push the boundaries of the law.
Personal
I am a family man with two young children. I try to spend as much free time I have with them. I enjoy watching football and cricket. I like to travel and meet new people.
