Biography
I’ve worked for Irwin Mitchell Scotland for the past 18 years. For the past 12 years, I’ve concentrated on Clinical Negligence cases. I’m currently a Law Society of Scotland Accredited Specialist in Medical Negligence Law (specifically pursuer claims). I also hold Senior Litigator status in The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
As a senior solicitor within Irwin Mitchell Scotland LLP’s Personal Injury Department, I deal with complex and high value personal injury claims. I have over 30 years’ experience practicing as a solicitor. I’ve worked on both sides of personal injury cases, making claims on behalf of people who’ve been injured (pursuer claims), as well as defending these types of claims for institutional clients. I have experience with both the Court of Session and the Sheriff Court.
