Biography
I am a Senior Associate Solicitor in the Medical Negligence team in Irwin Mitchell’s London office. I trained at the firm and qualified in September 2014, having already spent 16 months working in the Medical Negligence team.
I am accredited as a Clinical Negligence Specialist and Senior Litigator with the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and am a member of the AvMA (Action Against Medical Accidents) Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel. I specialise in compensation claims for individuals who have been injured as a result of clinical negligence by GPs, hospitals, private consultants and other healthcare providers.
I have a varied case load which includes claims arising from obstetric, neonatal, anaesthetic, ophthalmic, surgical, cardiac, psychiatric and emergency care. I also have a number of fatal cases and assist families with the inquest process.
I have significant experience of birth injury claims. I am committed to getting answers for families who have lost a loved one as a result of poor medical care and to assisting in the rehabilitation process for those who have been injured as a result of negligence.
Clients praise my personal touch and exceptional service and AvMA describe me as an experienced and confident litigator with a strong client focus who is open to continued learning and evolving my practice.
I have significant trial experience and my cases have featured in all media platforms including newspapers, radio and television.
Key Highlights
Amputation Case
In February 2025, I settled a complex below knee amputation claim for £5.5m at JSM, 10 weeks before trial. My client gave me a 5* review saying that I was a ‘very competent, knowledgeable and professional solicitor who was able to manage the case to a very favourable conclusion via a JSM. She is very quick at picking up any necessary knowledge and I would highly recommend her for any medical negligence case’.
Being a litigation lawyer has its challenges at times but it’s feedback like this which makes it all worth it. It was a privilege to represent this client and whilst nothing can be done to change what’s happened, I hope this settlement will give him the financial means to live his life to the fullest given the hand he’s been dealt.
Birth Injury Case
In October 2025, I settled a birth injury claim for a capitalised sum of just over £19 million. Liability was admitted before court proceedings were commenced. The claim was then quantified and settled at a settlement meeting just before trial. The Claimant lived in New Zealand and so the case had a number of additional complexities, over and above the usual complexities in this sort of case. The family were delighted with the settlement and have just moved into their new home.
Erb's Palsy Claim
In July 2024, I settled an Erb's Palsy claim for £1.1 million. The case concerned an 8-year-old boy who suffered a left sided obstetric brachial plexus injury (Erb's Palsy). He was left with limited use of his left upper limb. Irwin Mitchell took the case on to investigate a claim. Supportive evidence was obtained, and an admission of liability was secured before Court proceedings started. The case was quantified, evidence exchanged, and a settlement of £1.1 million was then negotiated to help fund the costs of care and rehabilitation to improve LZF’s quality of life.
Birth Injury Claim
In September 2024, I resolved a birth injury claim on behalf of a mother and her son. Following the settlement, the mother said:
I would like to recommend Irwin Mitchel, especially Georgie Cushing after the exceptional service she provided in securing settlement and compensation for our family in medical negligence case. Her professionalism, knowledge and compassionate approach made this incredibly difficult process manageable. She explained each step of the process and answered all our questions, giving us confidence that we were in good hands.
Fatal Claim
In December 2024, I settled a fatal claim on behalf of a widow who lost her husband suddenly and prematurely. An admission of liability was secured before court proceedings were commenced and a six-figure settlement negotiated, which exceeded expectations and gave my client the financial security she needed as she went into her retirement.

She is a very competent, knowledgeable and professional solicitor who was able to manage the case to a very favourable conclusion via a JSM.

It has not been the easiest case for them I’m sure but they managed to keep pushing forward to get us a really good end result. Leena Savjani and Georgie Cushing have been instrumental in the case reaching conclusion with additional support from Thomas Riis-Bristow and Beth Whittaker working closely with them on the case.
