Biography
I'm a Senior Associate in the Military Injury team. I have extensive litigation experience in personal injury claims and represent service personnel in claims against the Ministry of Defence for a variety of injuries.
My specialism is noise-induced hearing loss and bullying and harassment claims. I'm an experienced litigator having handled personal injury claims for over 20 years.
What inspired you to get into law?
A sense of right and wrong is what inspired me to get into the law. I like to win in whatever I do. Channelling that into helping others make a difference in their life has driven me to the do the best for my clients.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
Seeing what I do make a difference in a person’s life and helping clients change their lives for the better after being injured. My clients face life-changing consequences due to personal injury and if I can help change their lives for the better, then I feel like it’s all worth it.
What do you like to do away from the office?
I enjoy dressmaking. As well as the creative aspect I find it mentally challenging, but I thoroughly enjoy the challenge. My next project is to master making a tailored Chanel-style jacket.
I also enjoy running and spending time with family members.

"From the start of my case, Irwin Mitchell have always been professional from the off. The team who represented me was Carol, Gruffydd and Danielle. They are amazing people. Not only did they believe in me and help me, they counselled me throughout 4 years of litigation and when times got tough, they talked me through it and made me feel calm and gave me reassurance. This is an important part of litigation as I myself found it quite stressful but because these three were so thorough and built such a strong case, I always felt like they had my back.. Truly and honestly, I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me and my family. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all. I’ll never forget what you did for me. Kindest regards, Chris" – 5* Trustpilot review
