I am a founding Partner at specialist public law and human rights firm Rook Irwin Sweeney. Prior to this, I spent 12 years at a leading national firm. I advise Professional Deputies and their clients on access to NHS and Local Authority health and social care, including eligibility for statutory support where a client has an award of damages from a personal injury claim. I am a leading specialist in health and welfare matters in the Court of Protection, advising on mental capacity and best interests disputes, including deprivation of liberty.
