As head of the firm’s dedicated industrial disease team, Tracey will provide vital support to victims who suffer from diseases incurred in the workplace such as deafness, repetitive strain type injuries, VWF/HAVS, and asbestos related illnesses
Tracey is well known in the industry for her work on employers liability and industrial disease cases and her appointment highlights the growing demand for solicitors with specialist expertise. Since qualifying in 1994, Tracey has acted in a wide range of cases from asbestos related illness to hearing loss claims. She has handled numerous cases for those suffering from all types of industrial accidents and illnesses, including those involving death from accident or disease, and occupational stress.

As part of the Your Legal Friend team, we can work together to secure the right compensation in the quickest possible timeframe.”
