Career

Neil is part of Thompsons Solicitors’ personal injury claims team and has 20 years experience in all areas of civil litigation.

Based from Thompsons’ Manchester office and covering cases nationwide, Neil supervises other team members and handles a caseload of multi-track and serious injury claims involving cross border litigation.

Neil specialises in claims for overseas workplace accidents and against tour operators and hotels, as well as claims pertaining to the Montreal and Athens conventions.

Neil’s caseload involves claims for a range of injuries and conditions, including catastrophic orthopaedic injuries, brain and head injuries, cognitive impairment, fibromyalgia, vestibular injuries, PTSD, infectious diseases and illnesses and chronic pain.
