About Me

Anita trained with Irwin Mitchell and qualified as a solicitor in March 2008. She was promoted to the position of Associate in November 2011 and became a partner in May 2015. She is based in our London office.

Anita has a wealth of experience in complex clinical negligence cases, both on behalf of adults and children.

Her paediatric work focuses on children who have suffered neurological injuries caused by negligence at or around the time of birth, for example due to delays in delivery (causing cerebral palsy), or as a result of inadequate medical treatment in the neonatal period caused by neonatal hypoglycaemia.

Anita also specialises in representing children who have suffered serious neurological and/or physical injuries caused by meningococcal septicaemia.

Anita represents adults who have sustained a spinal cord injury, as well as a range of other clinical negligence cases, such as fatal cases.  

Anita is a Senior Litigator of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.  In 2017, she won the First 100 Years "Inspirational Women in Law" award.
