I have extensive experience of advising clients on birth injuries and brain injury claims, stillbirths and neonatal deaths. I am recognised as a Leader in my field in both the Legal 500 and Chambers UK directories.
I specialise in birth injury claims and am an active supporter of Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society). I also specialise in birth injury cases resulting in brain injury.
I have a particular interest in paediatric cardiac surgery cases having commenced my career representing families at the Bristol Royal Infirmary Public Inquiry into paediatric cardiac surgery.
I lead the clinical negligence team in the Taunton Office, working closely with Sands and AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents), representing parents and injured children in their claims.
I am also a Trustee and Vice Chair of Headway Somerset and a volunteer with Aching Arms.
