What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
My colleagues. With such a range of expertise and knowledge, it is an environment that allows me to thrive and continue to learn.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
As a Solicitor, you join the client at what can be the worst period in their life following a significant injury. Watching these clients understand, and at times overcome, the severity of their injuries is what I find as equally rewarding as inspiring.
What inspired you to get into law?
I am not 100% aware as to why I chose to go into law but it was something that I was certain that I wanted to do from the age of around 13/14. Thankfully, my early years decisions were successful and led me down the path to working in such a prestigious law firm.
What do you do away from the office?
In my spare time, I am a facilitator at my local Andy's Man Club.
