Career

I am a leading serious injury lawyer and partner in the personal injury and asbestos claims team at Fieldfisher.

I am recognised by the legal directories for my hard work and dedication in achieving the best results for my clients and in particular for my client handling skills.

I specialise in complex, high-value personal injury claims, with 15 years' experience representing people injured in accidents in the UK and abroad, including:

Road traffic accidents

Work place accidents

Fatal Accident claims

Mesothelioma and asbestos disease claims

Claims arising out of terrorist attacks

Professional Negligence claims

My focus is to secure immediate medical and financial support for clients to enable their rehabilitation. I also represent the families of those killed in accidents at inquests and in their personal injury claims. I have an excellent reputation for achieving substantial settlements for clients suffering from asbestos-related diseases.

I am regularly instructed to take over cases when clients are dissatisfied with their previous solicitors or where cases have been undervalued. I also act for several clients in claims against their previous solicitors for under-settling a claim or for incorrect advice.

I recently successfully recovered at trial one of the highest reported awards in a mesothelioma claim, widely reported as one of the most significant cases in fatal accident dependency claims. Read more here or watch a video about the case below.

I speak at training sessions for lawyers and regularly comment in the national press on high-profile cases with wide public interest, including BBC Radio 4 Today programme, BBC London Radio and BBC London News. I recently chaired a conference on the developing area of immunotherapy treatment for cancer patients.

Professional Memberships

I am a member of APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers).
