How can I help you? 

I recently moved from our Crime team to work on the Covid Statutory Public Inquiry team and will be working as one of the supervising solicitors on Module 3, which will look at the impact of Covid-19 on the UK’s healthcare system. 

A little about me 

I am someone who strongly believes in justice for all and in fair access to proper legal representation where appropriate. I originally studied history and politics at university, then went back to do law. I found the combination of the different areas of study helpful.

My experience

I started my legal career with the Probation Service in 1994. I then qualified as a solicitor in 2003 and spent the next 20 years working as a criminal defence lawyer in and around Courts all over England and Wales. As such I have gained extensive advocacy and litigation experience and now hope to use the skills I have gained through-out my lengthy career for the benefit of our clients in the Covid Inquiry.
