John Ibbotson and Lorraine Brady set up Ibbotson Brady Solicitors in 2001. In recent times the practice incorporated and John became a director whilst Lorraine remained purely as a senior and highly respected solicitor and not as a business owner. At the same time, Katherine Ibbotson came on board.

Katherine joined Ibbotson Brady Solicitors Limited as a Director in September 2013 in a part time and purely strategic role.

Katherine has no responsibilities for any client work, but brings her vast commercial experience to the business planning and direction.

Oxford graduate Katherine qualified as a solicitor in 1994, training at blue chip city firm, Macfarlanes. She then worked for legal giants Eversheds, Addleshaw Booth and Co and then Eversheds again, becoming a partner there. She worked on commercial projects and procurement.
Katherine then worked at the Department of Health Private Finance Unit as a procurement specialist before becoming Head of Legal, NHS England in 2014.

John and Lorraine work in the field of litigation, predominantly working on cases concerning personal injury, clinical negligence and professional negligence, but covering other areas such as freedom of information and data protection too.
