I am the Regional Managing Partner for our Birmingham office, and also head the very successful Medical Negligence team based there. This is an area I have specialised exclusively in for the last 15 years. It is an area of law that is both challenging and rewarding and although it still has the capacity to make me very sad I can't imagine practising any other type of law.
Irwin Mitchell is a fantastic firm to work for, they are and always have been totally committed to this work and the resources we all have to call upon make the job a much easier one for lawyers and clients alike. As well as heading the team I now work just on cases for children with cerebral palsy and I'm sure there can't be a more inspiring group of clients to work with.

My father, I'm not even sure I can remember how or why since he isn't a lawyer and neither was anyone else in the family but I blame him.
Undoubtedly the clients I have had the privilege to work with over the years who remind me constantly what is important in life.
The excellent lawyers I work with who make me look good and the support services that surround me which make my job so much easier than it otherwise would and enable me to provide a comprehensive service for my clients.
In the occasional spare moments that my husband and three children haven't planned out for me I love to read, exercise, watch films, travel and drink good wine although probably not in that order.
“As a firm we have always been passionate about doing what we can to support important causes and organisations through the IMCF and the Charity of the Year initiative. “PAPYRUS undertakes incredibly important work and we are already planning a range of activities across the year which will ensure that vital funds are raised to support the services and support that it provides to so many people. “Helping good causes is a core part of life here at Irwin Mitchell and we are excited about seeing just how much we can do for PAPYRUS and our other chosen charities across the coming months.”
When your child is diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy it is life-changing, but we’ve seen first-hand how specialist rehabilitation and therapies can help families to live their lives fully. We want to raise awareness of the many great charities offering important support for those affected. “People living Cerebral Palsy have extremely complex needs and Irwin Mitchell works with many charities which help offer support to families facing the challenge of living with the condition. “Many of our clients have proved to be inspirational in the way they have worked hard on their rehabilitation programmes to overcome the odds and achieve remarkable things. Over the past few years we have particularly encouraged involvement in disability sports through our Don’t Quit, Do It campaign as we have seen the massive benefits both physically and psychologically for those affected. “The most common cause of the types of cerebral palsy that we see are traumatic births which are deeply distressing for the families involved. Each incident is a chance to learn lessons and it is important that we raise awareness of the issues surrounding cerebral palsy to help those affected and to reduce the risk of similar problems in future.”
“Through our work, we see just how devastating the effects of a stroke can be, especially if opportunities to identify or treat them have been missed. It is this experience which drives us to, not only raise awareness of the warning signs of the condition but also, ensure stroke survivors have access to the highest quality of care and support in their rehabilitation. By sharing some of our experiences with the condition we hope to help families who may be struggling with some of the day-to-day challenges caused by stroke.”
