Alison Hills

Biography

I am a Solicitor-Advocate based in the medical negligence team in London. I have acted for clients in a variety of cases, including:

• Delayed cancer diagnosis
• Ophthalmic negligence
• Orthopaedic injury
• Birth injury including Erb’s palsy and cerebral palsy.

What Inspired You To Get Into Law?

I enjoy all aspects of being a solicitor from the initial interview and problem solving stage, to advising, preparing case plans, drafting documents, instructing experts, and the occasional advocacy!

It gives me a real sense of achievement to help clients get their lives back on track at an often highly emotional and sensitive time.

What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?

Achieving interim payments and settlements for clients who have suffered with life-changing injuries or the loss of a loved one.

Often clients are also seeking answers for how their injuries happened, and I enjoy helping clients get those answers to help them to move on.

What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?

The breadth of experience across the department and firm! No matter the type or complexity of the case, there will be someone on hand to provide guidance and support.

What Do You Do Away From The Office?

I'm a keen ski racer and am currently training to participate in the World Winter Masters Games, which are due to take place in Innsbruck in 2020. I also enjoy running - I've participated in a number of 10k and half-marathon events and am now also training for a full marathon!
