Career

I act exclusively on behalf of claimants and deal with a wide range of complex medical negligence cases. My particular interests are surgical, neurological, orthopaedic and obstetric cases, particularly those involving fertility issues. I have also successfully concluded a number of neonatal death and delayed diagnosis of cancer cases.

I am very experienced in working on maximum severity claims, including cerebral palsy and brain injury cases. My focus is always to secure early admissions of liability and interim payments to help clients rebuild their lives as quickly as possible.

I regularly comment on high-profile cases where it can generate change and prevent similar tragedies occurring. I am a former Young Achiever of the Year at the 2011 Personal Injury Awards, and was nominated as an Inspirational Woman of the Year (Under 35 Lawyer of the Year category) at the Inspirational Women in Law Awards in 2019.

I am a regular guest speaker at medico-legal conferences and am involved with several mentoring initiatives to support young lawyers. I am also a Trustee for Fertility Network UK, the country's leading patient focused fertility charity.
