Bolt Burdon Kemp welcomes Natasha Orr into Military Group

Bolt Burdon Kemp has welcomed Natasha Orr into its military claims team as a Senior Associate. Natasha previously led Slater and Gordon’s military team.

Natasha comes from an armed forces background and began her legal career in 2012. She has acted for armed forces personnel in civil claims involving a variety of serious injuries including non-freezing cold injuries, noise-induced hearing loss and PTSD. Natasha is also a specialist in industrial disease, having represented clients and their dependants in claims involving asbestos exposure and other occupational cancer claims.

Natasha has specialist knowledge of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the specialist benefits and pensions afforded to Service Personnel.

Ahmed Al-Nahhas, Head of Military Claims at Bolt Burdon Kemp, said:

“Natasha truly understands the world that our clients are operating in and, as a highly skilled litigator, she has extensive experience in handling complex and high value claims. She is able to provide her clients with meaningful and compassionate advice, whatever their circumstances, and which can change their lives for the better. Natasha has helped her clients through the most difficult times and works tirelessly to ensure they have the best support and medical care possible. Our clients will also benefit from Natasha’s wealth of expertise in industrial disease. We’re thrilled she’s here – Natasha is a fantastic addition to our strong, and growing, military team.”

Natasha Orr said: “Supporting the military community is hugely important to me, and I’m excited to join a firm that works tirelessly in doing so. Our armed forces make countless sacrifices, in all aspects of their lives and the impact this can have on the individual and their families is often significant, and it is this greater understanding that drives me to deliver the outstanding service that members of the military community deserve.

I am hugely excited to begin this role at Bolt Burdon Kemp, and work within a team and a community that understands the needs, challenges, and problems that members of our armed forces face and to play a part in providing support and assistance in their time of need.”
