Who We Are?
Combining decades of legal and healthcare experience, Adam and Nicki created The Lawyer & The Nurse to help families navigate Continuing Healthcare funding and social care challenges.
Adam Cresswell - The Lawyer
Adam studied law at the University of Liverpool before training at the College of Law in Birmingham and London. He began his career with the Crown Prosecution Service, later moving into civil law and becoming Head of Civil Litigation and a Director at a Corby law firm.
His focus is health and social care law, with particular strength in advocacy for families navigating Continuing Healthcare panels and Independent Review hearings.
Outside work, Sundays are reserved for The Archers omnibus, and his love of antiques is, according to his children, mostly just adding to the dust levels.
Nicki Slawson - The Nurse
Nicki is a Registered Mental Health Nurse with experience across hospitals, adult social care teams and Clinical Commissioning Groups. She has taken part in hundreds of Continuing Healthcare assessments, first for the NHS and now as an advocate for families.
She brings clinical knowledge, regulatory insight and compassion to complex cases, with particular experience supporting older adults and individuals with learning disabilities.
Outside work, Nicki is a mum of five, triplets and twins, and now shares her time between grandchildren, Walter the Frenchie, Milo the bulldog, and a possibly record-breaking shoe collection.
