In brief

I am a solicitor within the Industrial Disease group acting for claimant’s who have developed occupational diseases.

In Public

In my previous firm I provided staff training on Conditional Fee Agreements.

Industry Associations

I am a member of the Law Society.

In Work

I trained at a law firm in Norfolk, predominantly within claimant personal injury, qualifying in 2005. I went on to join George Ide LLP where I specialised in catastrophic injury claims, including claims involving brain injury, spinal injury, amputations and fatal accidents. I joined Boyes Turner in 2010.

In the past

I graduated with a 2:1 in Law from Exeter University in 2002. I remained at Exeter University to complete my LPC, after which I worked as a paralegal in construction litigation. I joined a firm in Norfolk as a trainee in 2003, qualifying in 2005. I joined George Ide LLP as a newly qualified solicitor practising in Personal Injury.

In my spare time

I am a keen badminton player, despite the fact that I am not any good! I have recently taken up running with my K9 propulsion unit (dog on lead) and am hoping to complete the Great South Run in October to raise money for Help for Heroes. My Springer Spaniel and I are avid Dash n’ Splash (essentially long jump into a swimming pool for water mad dogs) participants. His current personal best - 21 feet!
