  • Housing and Homelessness
  • Private Landlord and Tenant
  • Serious Injury and Clinical Negligence
  • Human Rights
  • Inquests
  • Court of Protection 

Angela is a popular advocate and highly regarded for clear, straightforward advice, unwavering commitment, and achieving good results. She is valued for gaining the trust and confidence of those instructing her.

“Angela’s preparation, attention to detail and approach to litigation are excellent.”

Angela undertakes both claimant and defendant work in all areas of her practice. She accepts instructions for court hearings at all stages of litigation, as well as for the drafting of pleadings, applications and witness statements.

She is particularly interested in cases that involve an overlap between different areas of her practice, including Housing and Personal Injury and Social Care and Human Rights as well as issues raised under the Equality Act 2010. Particular examples include:

  • Drafting of local authority Protocol documentation regarding young people who are homeless
  • Advising Safeguarding Children Board prior to the publication of the Safeguarding Review and during Pre-Inquest Review hearings
  • Representing local authority in the Court of Protection where a vulnerable adult was in temporary accommodation and special adaptations to a property for him were required
  • Representing and advising local authority where a family brought a claim for damages under the Human Rights Act for compensation where a child had been subject to child protection investigation

Personal Injury/ Clinical Negligence

When Angela completed her pupillage at chambers in Manchester she focussed on Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence work and maintains a keen interest in this area.

She regularly represents local authorities and employers defending personal injury claims, and cases including claims for damages under the Human Rights Act.

When instructed by claimants, she has represented individuals who have suffered injury during childbirth and clients who have brought claims of historic abuse when they were in church youth groups.
