Malcolm was born sometime ago in Croydon. Having achieved his normal milestones and after checking out potential careers as a dustman, potato picker, barman and accountant he decided that a career in law was for him. He qualified as a solicitor in 1984 and began specialising in personal injury litigation in 1985, working in a busy specialist practice in Holborn, London. He moved to Nottingham in 1988 and in 1991, Malcolm was one of the founding partners of Barratt Goff & Tomlinson.

Over the years he has conducted many major claims involving serious spinal and head injuries. Malcolm also specialises in clinical negligence claims and is a member of both the Law Society Personal Injury Panel and the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel. In 1998 he was successful in the Court of Appeal on behalf of a child who sued the health authority for failing to diagnose congenital dislocation of the hip and obtained compensation for several other children with this condition. Malcolm has acted for many children in claims for serious damage sustained at birth.

He is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and a supporter of AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents).

Outside work he keeps himself busy failing to keep up with his children and has been known to cycle to work and attend the gym!
