Biography
I am a medical negligence lawyer with over 40 years’ of experience. I founded my own legal firm Scrivenger Seabrook in 1989 and was managing director until October 2019 when I transferred my business to Tees. I now work at Tees as a consultant in their large, Tier 1 Legal 500 medical negligence legal team.
I specialise in all medical negligence claims and strive to deliver the best possible service for each and every client, drawing upon a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Delivering what you really need
Caring for people is at the heart of everything I do. If there is anything I can do to relieve a burden or make a client’s life easier then I will and working with Tees has allowed me to ensure that my clients are getting the best possible care.

Further information
My experience working as a lawyer in the field of personal injury led to 6 years acting as a solicitor at the Royal College of Nursing where I wrote “Patient Lifting: A Guide For Nurse Managers”. I am proud to have helped to prevent injury and change the lives of so many nurses who are at risk of injury themselves; I view this as this the greatest achievement of my professional career.
I graduated as a solicitor in 1979.
The UK legal 500 directory has described me as being “in a class of her own”.
“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.” Legal 500 2027
