In the late 1980's I joined a Newbury based personal injury and civil litigation firm. That firm merged with Charles Lucas and Marshall in 1989. Since this time I have specialised in claimant personal injury and clinical negligence claims, acting on behalf of clients suffering as a result of the actions/omissions of others. I joined Armstrong James LLP in 1998, specialising in Employers Liability, Medical Negligence and Occupiers Liability. I was appointed Director in 2006 and Partner in 2011.

Position: Consultant

I specialise in Wills, Probate and Estate Planning. I also have particular expertise in elderly client matters including long term healthcare and funding issues. This is a rapidly expanding and changing area and the laws and regulations governing it are becoming increasingly complex. I advise on a wide range of legal issues in this context.
