Caroline developed and heads up the eight-strong child brain injury team at Bolt Burdon Kemp, where she has been a partner since 2006. Caroline specialises in cases involving child brain injury and has achieved strong results in a number of high value and complex matters. She feels privileged to act exclusively for children who have sustained brain injury due to substandard medical treatment or as a result of a traumatic accident including road traffic accidents.

Her priority is to ensure her clients receive rehabilitation at the earliest possible opportunity to maximise their chances of achieving the optimum outcome whilst providing essential and effective support to her clients' families. She works closely with her clients' families, schools and healthcare professionals to ensure their complex needs are well met so that they can flourish post-injury.
