Biography
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.

What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
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.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
Undoubtedly the clients I have had the privilege to work with over the years who remind me constantly what is important in life.
What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
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.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
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.
