I have a broad practice but focus on Personal Injury and Employment. The personal injury work has included helping Claimants win cases for over £1 million damages and I have particular experience of Industrial disease and deafness claims. In the Employment sphere I acts for both Claimants and Respondents and have particular experience of disability discrimination claims in the public sector.I also act in Family Law cases and have specialist knowledge in relation to wildlife and countryside matters.
