Professional background

I have been working in this area since 2010 and have a great deal of experience in working with clients from a variety of backgrounds who have sustained life-changing injuries or families that have lost a loved one through a fatal injury.

I work with clients that have sustained a range of injuries through medical negligence and personal injury, including brain injuries, injuries arising from birth, spinal injuries, gastrointestinal and colorectal injuries and gynaecological injuries following childbirth. I also have an interest in injuries arising out of infectious diseases, such as meningitis and tuberculosis.

I have represented a number of bereaved families that have lost loved ones as a result of fatal accidents and medical negligence. I understand the importance of conducting comprehensive investigations to obtain the answers that bereaved families desperately seek.

As a result of having a dual specialism, I also deal with claims arising from an accident with subsequent negligent medical treatment.

I believe in working collaboratively with clients and experts to investigate their cases thoroughly and secure the best possible settlement for the client. I understand the importance of treating clients as individuals and understanding their individual needs to ensure the appropriate award and solution is achieved for every client. I am tactical and creative in my approach and I use various strategies to achieve the best outcome. As a result, I have over the years secured high value awards for clients and their families.

I am a Turkish speaker and I have represented a number of Turkish clients.

I am a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

We are immensely grateful for Sevim's dedication to our case and the outstanding service provided by Fieldfisher.

Client

Sevim was appointed my solicitor when I was going through an extremely traumatic case of clinical negligence. This case took several years to settle, and quite honestly, I do not think I would have made it through without her support. Sevim’s attention to detail, constant and excellent communication, compassion, empathy, and absolute professionalism made the process bearable. I am very grateful to have had her act as my solicitor.
