Career

I have more than 30 years' experience acting for people injured through medical negligence and personal injury accidents. My cases include:

- Medical negligence claims

- Personal injury claims

- Road traffic accident claims

- International personal injury claims

Many of these claims involve serious head injuries or birth injuries and have settled for more than £30 million. This ensures my clients receive adequate compensation to pay for education, rehabilitation, care and treatment.

In 2018, my client, a severely disabled six-year-old boy, was awarded £37 million after contracting the Herpes Simplex virus in hospital, leading to catastrophic brain damage.

In 2019, I have been described as "outstanding" and offering "great depth of experience in the clinical negligence market''.

I regularly speak at events and I have also contributed a chapter to the well-received Experts in the Civil Courts edited by Sir Louis Blom Cooper KC.

Professional Memberships

I am a member of AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents).
