Practice Areas
I am regional head of the Leeds and Newcastle medical law teams, having specialised in medical negligence law since qualifying in 1998. I have extensive experience in this field of law with a particular expertise in cerebral palsy, birth injury claims, amputation and brain injury cases. I work with my clients to ensure not only they are fully compensated for their injuries but have the support in their life present and future to succeed in all they want to despite their injuries. I am a keen advocate for patient safety supporting change through the experiences of our clients and where asked support clients in promoting change and raising awareness, I provide training to medical professionals. I am immensely proud to represent my clients and have a superb team who work tirelessly for their clients.
