A broad range of skills
Partner Dominic Wilson is assisted by an accomplished team of solicitors, including Julia Sweeney, a senior lawyer who prior to practicing law, worked in the medical / health industry where she qualified as a nurse and gained 7 years clinical experience. Julia has acted in Court actions where her knowledge of medical procedures and ability to source evidence about those procedures has proved invaluable – cases drawing on Julia’s skills as a lawyer, her forensic and investigatory skills and her medical knowledge.
