Biography
I am an Associate Solicitor in our Military Injury Team based in our Manchester office. I specialise in helping serving military personnel and veterans who are injured as a result of their service.
I primarily deal with Armed Forces Compensation Scheme claims where we are able to add significant value. I handle a broad range of cases but in particular I specialise in PTSD cases, where the results can often be life changing.
I frequently attend events in the local military community and enjoy the opportunity to become involved.
Testimonials
"We would highly recommend Irwin Mitchell Solicitors. They have worked on our case from day 1 for a total of 5 years. We are extremely happy with the way they handled everything. They have always been just a phone call away and always had really fast responses to emails and queries. Kimberley represented us at our tribunal and was fantastic. We couldn’t be happier with the result." - 5* Trustpilot review
"Irwin Mitchell dealt with a compensation claim for me over a period of 5 years. Despite many set backs the professionalism shown and the empathy towards what was a very difficult for me was first class... Kimberley has also been fantastic and they got me the result and fought my corner and gave me a voice. I cannot thank them enough and they have changed my life for the better and never gave up when I did. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend especially for forces veterans who need extra help and support. Thankyou all for you support and help." Trustpilot review
"Wow! I cannot thank... Kimberley Jackson... & all the team at Irwin Mitchell that helped me achieve this great result. My near 10 year battle to change the medical decision I was awarded from my previous employment, has finally been recognised to be the wrong decision, from the hard work, blood, sweat and tears of Heather and team. I cannot thank them enough...
"The support received felt personal to me and they kept me updated every step of the way. If I had not contacted them for a while, they'd be straight there on my case keeping me on my toes to update how I was doing." - 5* Trustpilot review

"Professional, involved and responsive service from a great legal team. Would definitely use them again and happy to recommend Kimberley and her team to other military veterans who need help in resolving legal issues." - 5* Trustpilot review
"Kimberley is great at building rapport with veterans and puts them at ease very quickly. She is knowledgeable on many subjects and always goes the extra mile to help and support where she can. Kimberly is polite and gently spoken which helps veterans that are struggling to explain their circumstances. She is a superstar and making a massive difference to the veteran community considering she is quite new to the industry and the military charity sector." - Kevin Hartley, Help for Heroes
What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
During high school I completed some work experience with the Crown Prosecution Service and a few local high street firms. I was really grateful for the opportunity and it gave me insight into the legal industry. Almost every solicitor says they wanted to get into law to be able to help people but this is what genuinely attracted me. I wanted to be in a client facing role where I could really make a difference.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
The most rewarding aspect of my role is helping clients to achieve the positive results that they deserve. To help support clients through a difficult time and then seeing the positive impact that we have on their lives and their family’s lives is second to none.
What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
I feel extremely fortunate to be able to work with individuals who are real experts in their field. It’s great to learn from those who have a wealth of experience and determination to get the right outcome for clients. They are always willing to support you by sharing their technical knowledge as well as providing me with support for my own personal career development.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
I enjoy keeping active by doing weight training in the gym and the local Park Run. I enjoy being able to get outside in the fresh air and regularly go for long walks and hikes in the Peak District.
I also enjoy public speaking and I’m a member of a local public speaking group.
