I studied Jurisprudence at Lincoln College, the University of Oxford. I have a practice background, having qualified as a solicitor at Slaughter and May, a 'magic circle' commercial firm in the City of London. After spending some time after qualification in the commercial property department of Slaughter and May, I switched specialty to clinical negligence and healthcare law. I have worked for two of the leading defendant firms in the country in this area and had a special interest in brain injury and obstetric cases.

Within my practice experience I have advised NHS Health Authorities and NHS Trusts on diverse matters, including the Judicial Review of the proposal to close Guy’s Hospital in London and major GP and pharmacist fraud. I have also conducted high value catastrophic injury cases, mainly concerning brain injury at birth.

I have worked as a Lecturer at the University of Chester Law School since 2008 and am currently a Senior Lecturer in Law. My specialisms lie in both Tort Law and Medical Law and Ethics.
