Biography
I’m an Associate Solicitor in our Medical Negligence team based in our London office. I trained with Irwin Mitchell and I have practiced in high value, complex medical negligence law since qualifying in 2012.
I represent clients who have suffered severe and complex injuries including neurological and spinal injuries. A significant proportion of my practice involves representing children who have sustained birth injuries, including cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy.
I also have a lot of experience handling claims arising from a delay in diagnosis of cancer and representing clients following the death of a loved one, especially managing the settlement of fatal claims involving complex family dynamics.
What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
I like people, so I always knew I wanted to work both with and for others. I am naturally very inquisitive and enjoy delving into subjects in great detail. I find that working as a medical negligence lawyer suits me because I get to work closely with colleagues and clients whilst wrangling with complicated legal and medical issues.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
I'm always very pleased to secure much-needed compensation for clients to help them to rebuild their lives after a traumatic event. My clients are usually in very difficult circumstances when we first meet. It's particularly rewarding to reassure and support them through the often daunting legal process while hopefully helping them find answers about what happened to them and why.
What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
I get to work with a team of hugely impressive people, who are technically fantastic lawyers, but most importantly kind and good company.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
When I’m not working I am generally found running around after my two very energetic daughters. When time allows, I also enjoy various arty hobbies including painting and pottery.
Testimonials
“I was absolutely in the best possible hands having Kim as my Lawyer. I can honestly say I could not have had anyone better or nicer looking after my case. What struck me hugely about Kim, in summary, was not only that she is highly skilled in a legal capacity, but also that she demonstrates vital qualities of warmth, approachability, empathy, perceptivity and sensitivity, which are all-important in cases such as mine.” - Mrs H, Client
I really felt my solicitor cared about doing right by me. I felt listened to. My solicitor and her team were always alert and attentive to my case. I am very grateful to everyone. I would recommend Irwin Mitchell to a friend. - 5* Trustpilot review
