Professional background

Professional background

I have worked in Serious Injury for more than 10 years and was promoted to Senior Associate in 2025. I am also an APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers) accredited litigator.
 
I act for clients who have suffered life-changing injuries. These include traumatic brain injury, complex upper and lower limb orthopaedic injuries, psychiatric injuries and spinal injuries in both adults and minors. I also act for families following fatal accidents.
 
I support clients injured at work, by other road users, drivers involved in multiple vehicle collisions, cyclists and accidents involving electric scooters. I regularly takeover cases for clients from other law firms.
 
I assist clients from the early stages following serious injury to access interim funds for private rehabilitation to maximise their recovery. I recognise the need for ongoing support for my clients and their close family.
 
I run my own caseload and assist Keith Barrett, Partner in high-value claims. I have acted for clients at trial in the High Court of Justice.

Active cases:

  • Acting for multiple injured clients including a fatality, in a cycling incident abroad involving traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury caused by a speeding driver. Court proceedings were issued and liability was resolved in full in the clients' favour. Interim payments of damages funded treatment and eased some financial burden.
  • Takeover case for a client injured in a road traffic collision. Full liability admission secured and multiple interim payments obtained for treatment. 
  • Acting for the family of a claimant who died in a workplace incident. Proceedings are issued and a Health & Safety Executive prosecution awaited.
  •  Assisting with several clients injured, including a fatality, when a high speed Rigid Inflatable Boat crashed into a buoy in Southampton. Court proceedings were issued and a criminal trial concluded. Interim funds enabled the claimants to undergo treatment.

I was very fortunate to be recommended to Keith after the sudden death of my wife Lucy in a road traffic accident. At the time everything seemed dark and lacking in hope and immediately Keith and his colleague Jack provided clarity, direction and critically some hope.From day one it was clear that here were two professionals who cared deeply about what they did and I never doubted they wanted the best for Lucy, my son and I. Keith is very direct, knowledgeable and without doubt one of the best in this line of work. You really want someone like him and Jack in your corner throughout these tough times. Fast forward 3 years and they have exceeded expectations with an outcome that provides some compensation for our loss. If you are reading this then I’m guessing you are quite raw and emotional right now. Please put yourself in the safe hands of Keith and Jack and they will help you rebuild your life.

I truly can not thank Fieldfisher enough for there kindness and professionalism shown to both myself and my then 16 year old son after what can only be described as the worst night of our lives when Joe was an unfortunate passenger in a car accident. Jack Sales and his team - i must mention Amy have made our journey so easy and have given Joe the outcome that we never expected. Thank you again for bringing this ordeal to an end and giving us both the support needed.

Thank you!

Keith, Jack and Amy handled my personal accident claim after a serious cycling accident. It was an extremely difficult and distressing time for my family with a 5 day old baby. Keith was extremely empathetic to my situation and together with Jack and Amy they form a formidable team, leaving no stone unturned and always on hand no matter what time of the day or day of the week.. If you haven’t already instructed Keith and his team to act on your behalf and would strongly recommend switching to Fieldfisher now if you want to secure the best outcome for you - I can’t recommend them highly enough!!!

I was recommended Fieldfisher by a solicitor friend of mine and having used the firm I would also highly recommend them. Professional, tailored service. Throughout the process I was confident that Fieldfisher were acting effectively and coordinating with other parties with utmost competence. Communication was prompt, empathetic and efficient. I was very pleased with the result of the process.

My life changed when I was hit by a car on a pedestrian crossing. I found a lawyer on the internet to handle my case. This lawyer did not take care of me. A friend referred me to Fieldfisher. I was very impressed when Keith Barrett came to me, explained everything and supported me. I was happy when he said he would take over my case. Fieldfisher sent me to the appropriate doctors to check all my fractures and give their opinion on my health. I was very happy that someone not only supported me mentally but also helped me physically understand my situation. Thank you to Fieldfisher and Jack Sales who supported me on my way. I recommend Fieldfisher to everyone. They are professional and trustworthy people.
