I am allegedly the oldest member of the company. I graduated at Nottingham University some time ago! I live in West Bridgford with my wife Laurie and children, Hannah, Ben and Izzi.

For over 25 years I have represented victims of a wide variety of incidents, including the Marchioness, the Ramsgate Ferry Disaster, the Kegworth Air Crash, the Soho pub bombing and the London Transport bombing. I specialise in industrial accidents/diseases, and brain and spinal injury claims of maximum severity. I have appeared for the last ten years in the Directory of Legal Experts.

I have lectured widely and contributed to a variety of legal publications. I was a past editor of the Journal of P.I. Litigation. In addition to my Personal Injury work I sit as a Mental Health Tribunal Judge and I am on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Mental Health Law. I am a Trustee and Chairperson of Nottingham Headway and Legal Secretary of the Nottinghamshire Medico-legal Society.

Fighting for those who have been injured and ensuring the right result is achieved is the most important aspect of my job.

My assistant is Sue Lovitt who has worked at Barratts for 17 years and is highly experienced
