She joined TSP as a Legal Secretary in the Clinical Negligence team and developed her career, becoming a paralegal, specialising in Personal Injury, in 2007.

The Legal 500: In 2019/20 the Thompson Smith and Puxon Personal Injury team was once again recommended by the Legal 500 and ranked amongst the best firms in the South East of England in this practice area. The Legal 500 said “The ‘great’ personal injury department at Thompson Smith and Puxon handles an array of matters including accidents at work, road traffic accidents, and trips and slips. Led by Steve Webb, the team also has experience in medical negligence and covers hospital and dental mistakes and psychiatric shock.”
In her spare time Jo enjoys running, sewing and spending time with her family.
Jo says “I find PI very rewarding and the different types of injuries clients have experienced make every day different. Although compensation cannot heal a person’s injury or change what has happened to them, I find it satisfying knowing that I have helped to make their future slightly brighter.”
