Amber joined Bolt Burdon Kemp in February 2026 as a paralegal in the firm’s specialist Military Claims department. Working under the supervision of Marie-Joelle Theanne, Amber assists on a wide range of military claims, including matters arising from training accidents, assault and harassment, and clinical negligence.
Originally from South Africa, Amber brings an international perspective to her work and is driven by a strong commitment to fairness, accountability, and access to justice. She has a particular interest in claims involving serious injury and medical negligence, especially where individuals have been failed by institutions they trusted.
Amber is drawn to the Military Claims team due to her strong belief that those who have served their country and dedicated their lives to protecting others deserve to be protected in return, with their interests effectively represented when things go wrong.
Amber studied LLB Law at the University of Reading, before completing her master’s and professional legal training at the University of Law, finishing her postgraduate studies and board examinations in 2025. During her training, she completed work experience in a personal injury and medical negligence firm, which solidified her interest in claimant-focused litigation and confirmed her desire to build her career in this area of law.
Through her academic and professional experience, Amber has developed a keen appreciation of the personal impact that litigation can have on claimants. She approaches her work with empathy and professionalism, ensuring clients feel informed, supported, and reassured throughout what can often be a stressful process.
Amber is committed to delivering the highest standards of client care and intends to qualify as a solicitor, continuing to build her career in claimant litigation.
