    Jessica Rowson

    Director and Head of Psychiatric Injury

    Jessica Rowson started as a Paralegal at Oakwood Solicitors in July 2010, qualifying as a Solicitor in September 2013. Following her qualifying as a Solicitor, Jessica established a niche department dealing primarily with Stress at Work claims.

    She was promoted to Assistant Head of Department in 2014 and took over as Head of Department in 2016, where she broadened the scope of the department to cover a wider range of claims focused on Psychiatric Injury.

    In December 2017, Jessica was promoted to Director following over seven years of service and dedication to the firm.

    Last year she obtained a TQUK Level 2 Certificate in awareness of Mental Health Problems and is also a qualified Mental Health First Aider.

    Jessica also recently contributed her expertise to a BBC documentary. This one-off special highlighted daily workplace interactions and asked a group of 18-30 year-olds whether the behaviours displayed could be deemed as sexual harassment. Watch the full video by clicking here.

    More recently, Jessica featured in a BBC short documentary called How to tell if you’re being bullied at work. View the full video here.

    Jessica contributes within the legal field by writing articles, presenting training to fellow legal professionals and is also the contributing author of A Practical Guide to Valuing Employment Discrimination Claims by Hill & Ward.

    Jessica has extensive experience in personal injury, civil litigation and employment disputes including:

    • Stress at work claims
    • Psychiatric injury claims
    • Negligence claims
    • Claims under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997
