I became a medical negligence solicitor to help make a difference, both to the clients that we represent, and the families of those affected. Having handled dozens of cases, I know the devastating impact subpar treatment can have on individuals and their loved ones.

A career in medical negligence allows me to use my legal skills to act for injured people, and help them pursue the recompense they need to move forward and live as fulfilling a life as possible.

As well as being a fascinating area of the law, the work that I do also has the potential to create positive changes in hospitals and GPs, preventing similar incidents occurring in the future.

Having grown up in and around the Chelmsford area, I have been aware of Gadsby Wicks’s outstanding reputation for most of my professional life. When the opportunity to join the team arose, it was an offer I could not turn down.

Beyond the firm’s excellent reputation, I was keen on joining Gadsby Wicks because it would allow me to focus on clinical negligence and act for injured people – something that continues to drive me after more than 10 years in the industry.

Working as a Senior Solicitor, I am responsible for supervising junior members of the team and managing my own caseload. This involves meeting with clients in person or over the phone, liaising with experts and defendants, conferencing with barristers, drafting documents and attending court hearings.

Every day, I strive to be approachable, empathetic and attentive, with close attention to detail. This helps me identify key issues and make meaningful progress on all of our clients’ cases.

I am also communicative, explaining key issues and updates in a way that claimants and their families can easily understand.
