Harriet Salvesen-Sawh

In March 2023 I qualified into the Serious Injury team after completing my training at Fieldfisher. I specialise in representing clients who have suffered catastrophic and life changing injuries, having started in this field of work in 2017.

I assist highly regarded and experienced Partners Jill Greenfield and Jennifer Buchanan, as well as manage my own case load. My experience covers working with clients who have suffered brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, severe orthopaedic injury and working with bereaved families. I assist clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of road traffic accidents and accidents at work. I also work with clients who have been the victim of sexual assault. When working on fatal accidents claims, I assist with the corresponding inquests. I am currently heavily involved in a complex 4 week inquest following the devastating death of a 16 year old boy.
 
Early rehabilitation can transform a client's recovery and therefore my priority is securing funding for the swift implementation of focused rehabilitation. I am lucky to work as part of a strong collegiate team at Fieldfisher, who has fostered collaborative relationships with counsel, medico-legal experts and case managers. I work closely with these individuals throughout the lifetime of a claim to secure the best possible compensation for each client.
 
I am passionate about the work I do and I am driven by my clients. I pride myself in building strong relationships with my clients and strive to achieve the best outcome for them following life changing injury.

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