Career

Ian has been working for NHS Resolution for 22 years and in recognition of his experience and expertise has been given “key personnel” status. He’s one of our divisional leads for clinical negligence, line managing three team leaders. He is highly regarded for his work on complex, high-value and high-profile cases, where the NHS is often at the forefront of society’s biggest issues. He deals primarily with claims involving profound brain damage, where the claimants have extensive care and rehabilitation needs. He has particular expertise in relation to the ambulance sector.

Ian has driven our collaborative approach to claims resolution, leading on a departmental project to find better ways of working with the claimant firms we regularly deal with. This has enabled us to build much better connections resulting in excellent working relationships, reduced costs and improved outcomes.

Ian works closely with NHS Resolution on areas of policy, providing support through various working groups.

He is a member of the Forum of Insurance Lawyers Sector Focus Team for clinical negligence charged with developing policy for FOIL, facilitating training and engaging in thought leadership.
