Dominic Riley

Biography

I specialise in recovering compensation for people who've been diagnosed with a workplace illness, which are often asbestos-related conditions. I help clients with conditions such as asbestosis, pleural thickening, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

I am based in the Leeds office and I work with the work place illness team headed by Ian Toft. I have a particular interest in the exciting developments regarding immunotherapy.

What inspired you to get into law?

Making a positive impact to my clients' lives.

What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?

The team at Irwin Mitchell are 5*. Everyone is very approachable and caring. There are no closed doors. We all pitch in together to help our clients.

What do you do away from the office?

I love the outdoors. I am a passionate hiker, having completed some long distance walks such as the Coast to Coast. I am involved in climbing and bouldering and have tried my hand at kayaking.
