Biography
Working within Irwin Mitchell Scotland LLP, I specialise in clinical negligence actions, working with victims and their families to investigate what are often serious and life changing injuries and illnesses. This includes cerebral palsy and other birth injuries, as well as the management of septicaemia, delayed diagnosis and other serious and fatal injuries.
I also deal with high value, complex personal injury claims arising out of road traffic accidents and workplace accidents, as well as claims arising out of industrial illnesses such as asbestos-related lung cancer and mesothelioma.

What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
Irwin Mitchell is a principled firm operating with integrity and clear values. I am proud to contribute to our sterling reputation of top class client care. We not only work to secure compensation and justice, but also take rehabilitation and recovery very seriously; we’re on hand to help with support and financial advice when required.
I work with a very optimistic, supportive and close knit team who work together to get the right results for our clients. Irwin Mitchell has a forward thinking, imaginative and very positive environment.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
The most rewarding part of my work is when I am able to make a practical, tangible difference to people’s lives.
What inspired you to get into law?
The legal system can be a complex and intimidating arena for people to find themselves in, especially when their lives have been changed by an incident or disease that they have no control over. I became a solicitor to help and guide people through this difficult system to ensure they get the justice they deserve.
What do you do away from the office?
Spending time with my two young children and our dog, going on long walks, eating Thai food and travelling.
