Biography
I'm a solicitor in the Medical Negligence team, having first joined the firm in 2015.

Irwin Mitchell's Medical Negligence team are highly regarded, which means I get to work on some of the most complex cases, achieving really rewarding outcomes for my clients.
What do you do away from the office?
