Career
I am a partner in the Clinical Negligence team at Fieldfisher. I sit on the specialist Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel, am a member of AvMA and am an accredited expert in acting for the victims of medical accidents.
My focus is to secure early interim payments and maximum compensation for people who have suffered because of medical negligence. I specialise in birth injury cases.
My medical and legal knowledge enable me to meticulously analyse each case in detail. I work tirelessly to help clients rebuild their lives by securing funds for the best possible care and rehabilitation, including moving to adapted accommodation where needed. Early intervention during the course of a claim helps restore the lives and independence of the injured and their families.
My particular expertise includes:
Obstetric and midwifery claims
Fetal medicine claims
Paediatric claims
Oncology claims involving delays in diagnosis and error in treatment
Cases involving amputation
Adult acquired brain injury as a result of medical accident
Fatal accident claims
Where appropriate, I work with the media to highlight clinical negligence issues in the public interest. I have featured across more than 100 different media outlets and am regularly interviewed on television news channels.
