How long have you been working in costs?

I have worked in legal costs since 1999. I joined A & M Bacon in 2005 and transferred to Partners In Costs in 2022.

When did you join PIC?

I joined PIC in 2022.

What work do you do?

I am a Costs Lawyer specialising in difficult, specialist and complex cases, including high-value litigation and costs claims, Group Litigation Orders and niche work such as ATE premium challenges.

My current work includes many high-value personal injury and clinical negligence claims. I am also the lead contact for several clients, and support the team with staff training in certain areas and quality control.

I have undertaken the Costs Lawyer qualification and won the Association of Costs Lawyers’ Gold Cup for the highest pass mark in the exam that year, with a pass mark of 98%.
