Practice Areas

I am a Partner in the Medical Negligence team in the Irwin Mitchell Birmingham office and I have worked for Irwin Mitchell since 2007. I am also the firm’s Training Principal and so am responsible for the development of all of the firm’s trainee solicitors. I act exclusively on behalf of Claimants in clinical negligence cases, helping people bring claims against NHS Trusts, GPs and private practitioners. I specialise in a range of medical law work including cases resulting in amputations, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and cases leading to fatalities. I have represented a number of families at Inquests. I have a particular interest in obstetric/gynaecology cases and have represented many families where children have been left with significant disabilities and in need of lifelong private care due to injuries sustained at birth.

Professional Memberships

I am accredited as an expert in clinical negligence with the Law Society, AvMA and APIL.
