Biography
I am an Associate Solicitor in the Medical Negligence team in our London office. I joined Irwin Mitchell in 2016 undertaking my training with the firm before qualifying into the medical negligence team in 2019.
I represent people who have been injured as a result of medical negligence by hospitals, healthcare providers or GPs. I have a particular specialism and interest in cases involving delayed diagnosis of cancer and neurological injuries, such as adult and child brain injuries and spinal injuries. However, I have a wide-ranging caseload involving fatal claims, orthopaedic injuries including amputations and cardiac claims.
I am committed to achieving the best results for my clients, by obtaining the most compensation that I can for them and helping them to access the support and rehabilitation that they need.
What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
I’ve always wanted a career that helps others. Being able to support and guide people at what is likely to be the most difficult time in theirs and their families lives is the main reason that I chose law and in particular medical negligence.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
Most people come to us with questions about their care and it is extremely rewarding to be able to help them through the medical negligence process to getting the answers that they want. I then work alongside a compassionate and experienced team who work very hard to make sure that our clients not only have those answers but are also able to obtain the assistance that they need to move forwards with their lives.
What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
Both Irwin Mitchell and all of my colleagues there are dedicated to ensuring that we provide the best service to every client. Being a multi-service firm, we are able to offer our client’s a wide range of support beyond just the expertise that they have come to us for initially.
As well as helping our client’s Irwin Mitchell is also dedicated to supporting charities across the country. Both in and out of work I am able to work closely with and support several charities that are there when our client’s need them most.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
I love to read and find that this is the best way to relax outside of work. I also love to explore and will travel with friends and family whenever I can.
