Experience

I specialise in the defence of high profile sexual/physical abuse and bullying claims, including group litigation.

I am nominated by several religious organisations, local authorities and insurers to deal with their most sensitive claims.

I have represented clients as core participants in the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) and advise insurance and non-insurance clients on IICSA-related matters.

I have significant experience in advising a variety of organisations including those in the public sector, faith, education and sport sectors in connection with responding to allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse.

I specialise in high value and complex employers' liability, public liability and abuse claims.

I was the editor in chief of the 10th, 11th, and 12th editions of Bingham and Berrymans Motor Claims Cases.

I regularly speak at and chair personal injury and abuse claims related conferences.
