Emma is a solicitor in the Medical Law and Patients' Rights team in Birmingham and has worked for Irwin Mitchell since 2007.
Emma grew up in the Midlands and studied Law at the University of Birmingham. Emma acts exclusively for Claimants in clinical negligence cases.
Emma runs her own varied caseload which includes cases resulting in amputation, delays in diagnosis of cancer and cases leading to infertility. She has a particular interest in obstetric cases and has helped to achieve extensive settlements for children who require life long care as a result of injuries at birth. Emma takes great satisfaction from being able to assist families in such situations, where the provision of damages allows necessary adaptations to be made to a child's home and allows essential equipment to be purchased to help a child communicate and develop a better quality of life.
