I graduated with a First Class law degree before qualifying as a Solicitor specialising in medical negligence claims.
I joined the Medical Negligence team at Fieldfisher having previously worked at another leading specialist Medical Negligence practice for several years.
I has successfully represented Claimants regarding an extensive range of medical negligence claims including birth injury claims.
I have particular experience dealing with claims related to cardiac conditions, meningitis, sepsis, oral cancer and ocular injury. I also have vast experience dealing with cosmetic surgery and orthopaedic claims and have significant experience of bringing claims in both the public and private sector including claims against NHS Trusts, general practitioners, dental practitioners and cosmetic surgeons.
I have worked very closely with several charitable organisations including work with Mouth Cancer Foundation, the UK's leading oral cancer charity. I am passionate about social responsibility and have led many charitable projects.
I have successfully represented many Claimants and work tirelessly to secure compensation for my clients with the aim of funding rehabilitation to help restore my clients' health, independence and quality of life.
