Louise qualified as a Solicitor with a firm in London before moving to Manchester where she specialised in litigation and in particular Personal Injury and employment work. She returned home to Somerset and since 1999 she has worked for Harris Fowler specialising in Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence work. Louise is a Director of Harris Fowler and heads up the High Value and Clinical Negligence Team.

Louise works on a wide range of cases, including for clients who have sustained serious head and spinal injuries.  She has particular expertise in working for military clients who have suffered injury whilst serving and has acted for a number of clients who have sustained cold weather injuries, developing an expertise in this field.

She has recently recovered compensation of £800,000 for a client who seriously injured his hand while at work and was able to secure funding for intensive treatment and rehabilitation to maximise her client’s recovery. She has also recently resolved cases for two clients who were discharged from the Army as a consequence of their cold weather injuries.  Both cases were successfully settled before Trial with one former soldier receiving compensation of £300,000 and the second receiving compensation in excess of £400,000.

Louise feels the most rewarding aspect of the job is working with clients and their families using her legal expertise to enable them to receive the help and treatment that they deserve and to recover compensation to enable them to get on with their lives.
