I specialise in providing healthcare and regulatory advice to clients within the health and social care sector, as well as acting for a range of regulatory bodies and local authorities.
I represent and advise clients on health, care and regulatory law and have a particular interest in vulnerable adults, children and young people and safeguarding. I advise on issues concerning capacity, best interests and deprivation of liberty cases. I regularly represent health commissioners and healthcare providers in proceedings in the Court of Protection, including serious medical treatment cases, as well as advising clients on complex packages of care.
I am the Chair of the Court of Protection Practitioners Association (CoPPA) West Midlands. I also assist where there are challenges to the provision of care by way of judicial review and where advice is required on regulatory matters, including health and safety.
The clear links between housing and mental health enable me to advise housing providers on a range of issues including safeguarding, information governance and dealing with serious incidents as well as providing support, training and representation at inquests.
My interest in safeguarding work includes a special interest in fire safety and fire prevention work in respect of vulnerable adults. I am instructed by Fire Authorities in respect of inquests and safeguarding matters, as well as providing advice to care providers and the housing sector regarding their duties and obligations.
