"I develop and maintain an excellent rapport with clients, who are often navigating difficult or sensitive situations."

"I have significant experience in dealing with particularly challenging and high-profile claimants. I pride myself on cutting through the complexity and shaping a clear, practical strategy for responding to or resolving claims as efficiently as possible. I’m calm under pressure and aim to be someone clients view as reliable and a safe pair of hands. 

During my time at RPC, I completed a secondment with a leading professional indemnity insurer. That experience gave me valuable insight into how insurers operate and what they need most from their legal advisers. I also understand the pressures law firms face in balancing their day-to-day work with the demands of defending claims made against them. 

On a personal level, I’m approachable and easy to get along with. This ensures I develop and maintain an excellent rapport with clients, who are often navigating difficult or sensitive situations."
