I am an experienced Solicitor with over eight years’ experience in criminal prosecution with the Crown Prosecution Service, including complex and serious cases involving rape and serious sexual offences. I am also an experienced advocate, holding higher rights of audience in the criminal courts, and trial experience in the Magistrates’ Court and Youth Court.
I now practice within the Healthcare and Regulatory - Inquests, Inquiries & Regulatory team. I assist clients in relation to police investigations providing early advice, developing strategy and support throughout the progression of proceedings. I also have a growing focus on inquest work, including complex Article 2 inquests as well as Care Quality Commission regulatory and enforcement matters. I also advise on professional conduct proceedings.
I have significant experience in supporting clients through complex investigative processes with a particular interest in the interaction between healthcare, regulatory and legal processes. I am continuing to expand my practice across a broad range of healthcare regulatory matters, working collaboratively across team practice areas.
I bring a calm, practical approach underpinned by my strong advocacy experience, and I am committed to supporting clients through complex and sensitive proceedings with clarity and reassurance.
