Biography
I joined Irwin Mitchell as a trainee solicitor in 1997 and qualified in 1999. I spent nine years developing my expertise in the field of personal injury litigation at the firm's Leeds office, and was appointed Associate in 2004.
In 2008 I moved to Manchester to help develop our new office there, and this is where I remain, practising exclusively in the field of Claimant catastrophic injury litigation (typically claims involving head and spinal injury, complex orthopaedic injuries & amputation).
Formerly Secretary of the Wakefield branch of Headway, I now sit on the Management committee of Headway Salford and I am a member of the Law Society Personal Injury Panel. I am an APIL accredited Senior Litigator.
I was made a Partner in the practice in May 2010.

"Hiring Irwin Mitchell was the best choice I made in my entire life. I don’t usually review businesses but believe the word has to get out. In this case, this firm, my case manager Matthew Brown, made all the difference in an experience that went from Horrible to “don’t worry, we've got you now” those were his words and I will never forget them. They did. They had my back, they hold my hand throughout the entire case with endless medical appointments with The Best Experts anyone ever can find.
It was terrifying because I was hit very hard and all my life changed in one second. And what Matt and his team did, goes beyond any service a law firm can offer, this is genuine care for others. Not only that, my settlement was more than I expected, it was a life changing outcome. I will never forget this and I will always make sure to let people know that this law office is the best and has simply one of the best people I met. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work!" - Client
