Biography
Since qualifying as a solicitor in 2011, I have specialised in medical negligence, handling a wide range of cases including:
- Amputation
- Cerebral palsy
- Sepsis
- Surgical errors
- Delayed cancer diagnoses
- Inappropriate surgical technique and management.
What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
A close family member had a brain injury following a bicycle accident and although fortunately he made a good recovery, I was inspired to help those who require assistance as a result of negligence.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
When clients come to us, unfortunately they have often had a very difficult time. I enjoy getting answers for my clients about what went wrong and helping them to achieve compensation to improve their quality of life.
What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
Irwin Mitchell has a fantastic team of solicitors, who aren't only specialists in the field of medical negligence, but are genuinely passionate about what they do. We work closely with some amazing charities which is very rewarding.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
I enjoy running and I completed the Yorkshire Marathon in October 2016, raising money for Martin House. I also like to spend time cycling, snowboarding and travelling.
From 2016 until 2018, I was a Trustee for a charity in Leeds called SNAPS (Special Needs and Parent Support). SNAPS offers hydrotherapy and rebound therapy for children with additional needs which was very rewarding.
