About Me

I’m a Senior Associate Solicitor in our Serious Injury team based in London. I’m also an accredited Brain Injury Specialist and Senior Litigator with the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

Since qualifying as a solicitor, I’ve supported clients who’ve sustained life-changing injuries like traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, and multiple traumas. I also represent individuals' families and their loved ones following fatal accidents, often attending inquests. As an experienced biker and cyclist myself, I have a special understanding for clients who’ve been involved in motorcycle or cycling collisions.

I’m passionate about securing my clients interim payments wherever possible. This helps me to put in place the right rehabilitation, care package and accommodation for my client, before the claim has ended.

My colleagues and I work to improve the quality of life for our clients, overcoming the impact of a serious injury as best we can. I also work to ensure that partners and families get the help and support they need, and assist them through the process.

I’m experienced with cases involving incidents in public places or the workplace, as well as domestic air crashes. I’ve also supported clients who were victims of childhood sexual abuse.
