Brain Tumour Awareness
As we move towards the end of Brain Tumour Awareness month, I have put together some thoughts on a subject
I am an experienced medical negligence Solicitor with over 26 years of experience in this area of law. I have worked exclusively in this area for my entire career, as well as acting for clients with catastrophic personal injury claims.
I moved to Tees in October 2025, having previously worked at my last firm all of my career, since training and qualifying in 2001. I am a Senior Associate at Tees and Team Leader for the Chelmsford team. I bring with me a wealth of experience. I have represented hundreds of clients and their families over the years and dealt with a whole range of medical negligence claims, including (but not limited to):
• Fatal claims (including enquiries with the Coroner and Inquests)
• Pre-natal and neonatal claims (birth injuries)
• Brain injury claims
• Orthopaedic injuries
• Claims involving children
I feel incredibly passionate about the role I have in representing those who need a voice. My clients have been through some of the most difficult times in their lives, and it is a real privilege to help them. I believe in putting the client first and understanding exactly what they want to achieve from the litigation process; whether that is seeking answers to what has happened, achieving justice or obtaining compensation for their injuries and financial security for their future, including provision for much needed treatment.
I pride myself on my commitment to my clients and always do my very best for them, whatever their aim. I build trusted relationships with my clients that give them confidence in my advice.
I also feel incredibly passionate about my clients’ families. While I focus on my clients, I never forget that their experience and injuries profoundly affect their families, too.
I have built excellent working relationships over the years with medical experts and Barristers, all of whom I work with regularly.
I am dedicated to representing my clients to achieve the very best outcome for them.
A very strong team of dedicated clinical negligence specialists. Large enough to have strength and breadth but not too large that personal care is lost.
I have worked closely with local charities. In April 2025, I ran the London Marathon and have since run two half marathons for charity. I am also a Governor at a local grammar school.
In my spare time, I love to go out for a run along the Essex coastline and spend time with my family.
