I began my career in dispute resolution with a niche insurance litigation firm in the City, where I specialised in professional negligence. Since then, I have gone on to become a general litigation solicitor and nowadays I help clients with disputes of any nature. I regularly act on behalf of clients in cases involving debt recovery, property litigation, and any dispute involving negligence or contractual issues. As a solicitor in the Dispute Resolution team, I act on behalf of clients in almost all types of civil litigation, both in pre-action cases and those that have reached court proceedings. My main goal is to help clients resolve these matters in a swift and cost-effective manner. Finding yourself in a legal dispute can be incredibly stressful and time-consuming. As a dispute resolution solicitor, I strive to provide advice to my clients in a way which is easy to understand whilst also lifting the burden of dealing with a dispute. Every case is different and I believe it is essential to provide solutions-focused advice at every step of the way. This encompasses every aspect of a litigation case, often with an aim of achieving a successful resolution without the need for court proceedings, such as through mediation. I love that my main role is problem-solving. No two cases are ever the same when working within dispute resolution, which is what drew me to this area of legal practice several years ago. I undertook my first work placement in a law firm over 10 years ago and, from the outset, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the law. Since the COVID-imposed lockdown, I have taken to improving my DIY skills and have been in the process of renovating my first home. I am also an avid music fan and always looking out for the next concert to attend.

Conservatory Dispute Resolved.
Thank you for your excellent professional legal work in resolving the appalling construction of our Conservatory, which you legally tied the Conservatory company in knots over and prevented any further monies to be paid.
I would not hesitate to recommend your legal litigation services to our friends if they required efficient expertise and " forbid ourselves if the need ever arose again in the future".
With Kind Regards and Thanks to Mr. Elliot Cousins, Miss Chloe Hickford and your Reception Staff.
Great value for money until recently when Birkett Solicitors increased the hourly rates
