Senior Associate Solicitor
Home / People / Joanne Giles

I qualified as a Solicitor in 2000 joining the Personal Injury and Medical Negligence team at Thompson Smith and Puxon in August 2026.

I have extensive experience in civil litigation, building specialist expertise in both personal injury and medical negligence claims. After graduating from university, I specialised in road traffic accident claims and later completed my training contract, gaining experience across employer's liability, public liability, occupiers' liability and road traffic accident litigation.

I act for clients in a wide range of complex personal injury cases, including those involving brain injuries, amputations, burns and spinal fractures. I also have significant experience in medical negligence claims, helping clients affected by birth injuries, cauda equina syndrome, surgical errors, misdiagnosis, and delayed or incorrect treatment.

I am committed to providing clear, practical advice and supporting clients through what can often be difficult circumstances, working to achieve the best possible outcome.

I am a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
