Career History Following completion of my studies, I began working at a local law firm where I specialised in Claimant Personal Injury claims and employment law. In 2010 I joined the rapidly growing Defendant Credit Hire team at DAC Beachcroft in Birmingham, handling a varied caseload of Credit Hire claims. This involved acting on behalf of a significant number of large and medium-sized insurers, as well as corporate entities with sizeable self-insured interests. I joined Flint Bishop LLP in 2016 and led the Credit Hire Team. This included creating the specific case management process for Credit Hire and being the ‘go-to’ individual for internal queries or issues. I established a strong relationship with a major insurer client, regularly liaising and advising on their long-term strategies. 2006 – 2010 Advance Legal 2010 – 2016 DAC Beachcroft LLP 2016 – 2022 Flint Bishop LLP Education LLB Nottingham Trent University
