Molly qualified at Gordons in 2017 and became a Partner in 2024. She typically works on cases involving complex medical scenarios often resulting in catastrophic injuries and high value claims. She has experience of working on a wide range of cases, including those involving brain injury, spinal and neurological injury, amputation, oncology, psychiatric injury and fatal claims. She also has experience of claims involving allegations of vicarious liability, discrimination and data protection breaches pursued against medical professionals. She provides sensitive and pragmatic advice, and adopts a robust stance where necessary, having successfully defended claims at trial, achieved discontinuances and settlements at well below the pleaded values of claims.
