Biography
I am a solicitor in Manchester in the Workplace Injury Team. I qualified as a solicitor in 2021. Prior to qualifying, I worked as a paralegal and have over 7 years’ experience acting for people who have developed asbestos related illnesses such as mesothelioma, asbestos related lung cancer, asbestosis and pleural thickening. I also have experience in acting for clients in Australia and have also assisted on complex Maltese cases against the Ministry of Defence.
I have experience in obtaining compensation from the Turner and Newall scheme for former employees who have developed asbestos related conditions as well as applications to the Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme for client’s who have been diagnosed with asbestos related diseases but where civil claims are not possible.
I have worked with many of the asbestos victim support groups across the North of England by attending meeting and fundraising events.
