Practice Areas

I am the national head of public law and human rights at Irwin Mitchell. My expertise is in judicial review, human rights, medical ethics, court of protection welfare and medical cases and commercial and procurement public law matters.

I have over 22 years experience in conducting successful judicial review cases relating to a wide range of public functions: social services, healthcare, education civil liberties and general public law including inquests and inquiries. I have worked on successful cases that have reached the Supreme Court. I am Accredited by the Law Society as a Legal Representative in Court of Protection welfare cases.

I advise and litigate in a wide range of public law and civil liberties work, acting for individuals, institutions and businesses. I specialise in the healthcare and community care fields. My team advise on Special Educational Needs appeals and education law.

I lead a national team of lawyers undertaking public law, health and social care work. In the last few years, I have become heavily involved in adult welfare/medical treatment proceedings brought by local authorities and health trusts, acting for the Official Solicitor in declaratory High Court or Court of Protection proceedings, involving individuals who may lack capacity to manage their affairs and decide on welfare, residence, contact and healthcare matters themselves.
