Testimonials

I support individuals and families through life-changing injury claims, using my experience to secure the compensation they need to rebuild their lives and access the care and support they deserve.

An expert in personal injury and clinical negligence compensation claims for individuals, Ann has a wealth of experience winning multi-million-pound compensation awards for clients, some in excess of £20,000,000. She is externally recognised for her legal prowess and has featured in the Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 rankings every year since 2017.

Ann provides advice across all areas of personal injury and clinical negligence work. Backed by more than a decade of experience working on catastrophic and brain injury claims, she specialises in birth injury claims and personal injury claims for children who have sustained brain injury.

Ann also focuses on cases involving the mismanagement of sepsis and works closely with the UK Sepsis Trust. Her extensive knowledge of brain injuries and sepsis enables her to quickly grasp cases and secure the maximum compensation for the injured individual. A dedicated and talented lawyer, Ann is highly regarded by other professionals in the sector, such as medics, case managers and charities.

‘She is superb with clients and exceptionally able in her approach to cases.’ Chambers and Partners, 2024

‘She is very on it and doesn’t miss things.’ Chambers and Partners, 2024
