Biography
I’m an Associate Solicitor in our Serious Injury team based in London. I’m also an accredited Brain Injury Specialist and Senior Litigator with the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
Since qualifying as a solicitor, I’ve supported clients who’ve sustained life-changing injuries like traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, and multiple traumas. I also represent individuals' families and their loved ones following fatal accidents, often attending inquests. As an experienced biker and cyclist myself, I have a special understanding for clients who’ve been involved in motorcycle or cycling collisions.
I’m passionate about securing my clients interim payments wherever possible. This helps me to put in place the right rehabilitation, care package and accommodation for my client, before the claim has ended.
My colleagues and I work to improve the quality of life for our clients, overcoming the impact of a serious injury as best we can. I also work to ensure that partners and families get the help and support they need, and assist them through the process.
I’m experienced with cases involving incidents in public places or the workplace, as well as domestic air crashes. I’ve also supported clients who were victims of childhood sexual abuse.

What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
I wanted to make a real, tangible difference to people's lives.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?

What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
The main advantage of working for a large, leading firm is the breadth of knowledge and expertise among my colleagues. I work with them closely to better support my clients.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
Either tackling green lanes on my BMW 1200GS, or when time and family allow, going away on adventure motorcycle trips, the most recent being to Nepal and Morocco. Closer to home, I enjoy tennis, cycling and spending time with my family.
