I qualified as a barrister in 2014 and both before and immediately after qualification, gained experience working in house with some of the country’s leading solicitors in judicial review and education disputes. Consequently, I have had the privilege of being involved directly with members of the public in some of the leading education and social care cases of this decade and have experience representing individuals, central and local government, corporates, school and colleges.
When representing individuals, I pride myself on my exceptional client care skills, ensuring that clients are empowered to resolve their disputes, whilst understanding the cost implications of their actions.
When representing organisations and public bodies, alongside providing excellent client care, I seek to ensure that, as well as resolving ongoing disputes, a risk based approach is adopted to try and prevent future issues arising.
With 7 years’ experience in advising, representing and assisting individuals, local authorities, schools, colleges, as well as acting as a non executive director to a higher education institution, I am well placed to advise anyone who has a dispute within the education sector. Whilst I am happy to assist on any education related dispute, or provide advice or documentation, my particular areas of interest are:
Recent cases that I have been involved in include:
Outside of legal work, I am widely published having acted as a contributing editor and author on two leading education law textbooks, alongside authoring various articles across industry and legal publications.
With 7 years’ experience acting for and against public authorities I am well placed to advise and act on a wide variety of public law claims, or in offering advice on the same.
My particular areas of expertise are in relation to adult and child services within local authorities focusing on education, health and social care issues.
For further information on my education law experience, please see my education law profile.
Within the field of healthcare I regularly provide advice to individuals and local authorities in court of protection disputes, both welfare and property & affairs issues.
Within the field of social care, I am an expert in spectrum of English and Welsh community care legislation and have acted in a plethora of judicial review claims regarding the same. See my judicial review profile for further information on this.
Alongside my public law experience, I have experience in the field of medical regulation with a focus on pharmaceutical regulation, particularly in the medicinal cannabis sector and in HMRA regulation.
I have a wide variety of judicial review experience across the education, health and social care sectors. My experience in this can be demonstrated by the breadth and number of cases that I have been involved with in the past few years:
