Biography
I am a Medical Negligence Solicitor based in the Manchester office.
I assist clients with pursuing claims against the NHS, GPs, dentists and private doctors relating to all aspects of clinical negligence, including but not limited to orthopaedic claims, fatal claims and delays in diagnosis claims.
My role involves assisting Senior Associates and Partners in the team too, assisting on cases involving brain injuries, suicide and mental health issues.
Key Highlights
I have also attended HM Coroner's Court inquest hearings to represent families.
I have obtained a full admission for a client involving a fatal claim in relation to an aortic value replacement from two different NHS Trusts.
I have assisted in settling brain injury cases for over £7 million and £16 million.
What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
Irwin Mitchell has a large number of solicitors who are specialists in their own field. Our resources are vast and we all work towards the same goal, which is to put our clients first.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
Telephoning a client to explain that I have managed to get an apology letter from the NHS for the care or treatment that was provided to them is always a special call. It also helps when it is followed up with a conversation about settlement and getting some compensation for the losses my client has suffered!
What inspired you to get into law?
To Kill a Mockingbird was one of my favourite books in secondary school. I wanted to follow in the steps of Atticus Finch, to help people and achieve justice.
What do you do away from the office?
I used to play football in a Monday league but my playing days are over. I like to make sure that my friends who support Liverpool Football Club do not forget that I once played in a tournament at Anfield Stadium (and I have photographs of this as well). Nowadays, I enjoy watching football and like to engage in team activities, such as escape rooms and paintballing.
I am a (new but) huge fan of The Great British Bake Off so I'll be spending a lot of time in the kitchen, thanks to my Secret Santa, who got me a personalised Great British Bake Off apron!
