About Neil's role
My specialist area is representing individual clients who have suffered a major traumatic injury, principally brain injury. I manage a team of lawyers and support staff dedicated to working with clients who have suffered from head or brain injury in our Sheffield office.
Legal Specialism
I act on behalf of clients with severe brain injury. I have a particular expertise in issues concerning mental capacity to make decisions after a head injury, and in issues of community care. I have acted for many clients who have recovered substantial settlements in excess of £1m.
Publications
I co-wrote a chapter for the publication Good Practice in Brain Injury Case Management published in 2006 by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
Memberships and professional organisations
I am a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
Charity and Community Work
I am a long standing member of the management committee at Headway North Derbyshire (formerly Headway Chesterfield). I am training for the Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for Neurocare; a Sheffield based charity that promotes excellence in acute medical care for brain injuries at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield.
