Natalie Hirst

I am an Associate Solicitor and I have achieved accredited status as a Senior Litigator of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. I am passionate about securing compensation and rehabilitation for claimants who have suffered life-changing injuries because of the negligence of others.

I assist Caroline Flashman to help clients who have suffered brain injuries. I also have my own case load dealing with both personal injury and clinical negligence cases, helping individuals who have suffered complex orthopaedic or neurological injuries following an accident that wasn’t their fault or because a medical practitioner has breached their duty of care, for example, where there has been a delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment or surgical errors.

I have achieved accredited status as a Litigator of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

After university, I gained several years of secretarial and paralegal experience at Allen and Overy and ASB Law. I joined the firm in 2010, initially in the Dispute Resolution team before qualifying into this team.

I am passionate about securing compensation and rehabilitation for claimants who have suffered life-changing injuries because of the negligence of others.

Outside of work, I enjoy all things music and Ragdoll kitten related.
