Get to know Priyesh

I qualified as a solicitor in February 2016 and joined Slater and Gordon as a senior legal advisor in September 2016 where I was responsible for supervising and managing a team of legal advisors specialising in litigated occupational deafness matters. I also ran a caseload consisting of complex limitation matters, de-minimis arguments and appeals to the High Court. In November 2018 I moved to the employers and public liability department as a team leader where I was responsible for supervising and managing the union team. I worked closely with unions such as USDAW, PCS and BFAUW and was responsible for ensuring our clients experienced a world class service as well as managing risk and delivering KPIs.

In July 2020 I joined the specialist industrial disease team where I specialise in claims for tinnitus/noise induced hearing loss, occupational stress, work related upper limb disorders including hand-arm vibration syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome and occupational dermatitis. I have secured great results for my clients.

I have also advised clients in respect of personal welfare matters including education law and Court of Protection.

Recognition

In December 2014, prior to becoming a trainee solicitor, I won the ‘industrial disease champion’ award for outstanding billing performance in the industrial disease department.
