Biography
I joined the Irwin Mitchell Manchester office in 2010 when I qualified as a solicitor.
My background is psychology: I completed my BSc and MSc in health psychology. I had also previously worked for pharmaceutical companies, and as post-graduate researcher I worked with patients with chronic diseases, devising a model for psychological treatment.
I work on a wide range range of cases, but with my passion for and interest in mental health, this has naturally led me to develop a niche area relating to clinical negligence and Human Rights Act claims that have resulted in suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health illnesses.
I also have a keen interest in claims arising out of delays in diagnosing and treating cancer, and representing families at inquests (including those where Article 2 is engaged).
What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
Pursuing a career in clinical negligence has enabled me to use my experience and background in psychology. It has given me a good understanding of mental health conditions, and helps me appreciate the torment that some individuals with mental health illness experience.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
Clients who need our help have often already been through the most devastating events and experiences. Whilst we can never undo the past, sometimes we can make the future seem a little brighter.
I take pleasure in supporting my clients, whether that is offering a shoulder to lean on during an inquest, ensuring that we secure funding to implement the best care package at home following an injury, or more importantly, getting an apology from the doctors or nurses who were involved in the negligent care.
What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
Everyone at Irwin Mitchell has the same goal, which is to put our clients first. It is motivating and inspiring to work within a team where everyone cares so much about the well-being of clients.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
I love spending time with my partner, friends and family, we are all "foodies" at heart so we enjoy trying different cuisines, and travelling to experience new cultures and tastes!
I am quite active and enjoy running, hiking, skiing, and until more recently, playing hockey.

"Ayse has very good ‘people skills’ and I felt able to discuss with her some very upsetting experiences, on which the case was based. Despite the considerable length of time taken to reach a settlement, I was kept up-to-date with developments (or sometimes, lack of them!). I had confidence that Ayse was fully competent and motivated to reach a settlement. I would recommend to friends and colleagues." - Mr Glover, Client

As a company you should feel so proud and lucky to have such a caring and professional employee.” - Client's mum
"We will be forever grateful for the hard work and tenacity of Ayse Ince and her team in securing the future our son deserves. As parents we now have some piece of mind that our son will be able to be well cared for when we are no longer here. We were concerned when our legal team changed, and Ayse had to deal with a lot of doubt from me, but she just kept on moving forward, and I am so grateful for her ability to keep her eyes on the end goal, and it literally felt like she held my hand every step of the way, with reassurance and action. I couldn’t recommend Ayse Ince and her team more." - 5* Trustpilot review
