Tyla joined RCB in February 2023 from a leading national law firm, where she trained, qualified and practised for seven years.
She has extensive experience in defendant insurance litigation, having initially specialised in personal injury, with a focus on public liability, employers’ liability, large loss claims and matters involving the Package Travel Regulations. After qualifying as a solicitor in 2019, Tyla moved into Professional Indemnity, where she has developed significant expertise in defending a broad range of professional negligence claims.
Tyla advises insurers and insured professionals across a wide spectrum of professional negligence matters, including claims involving fire engineers (particularly cladding-related disputes), structural engineers, construction professionals, waterproofing contractors, barristers and solicitors. She has considerable experience managing complex litigation from initial instruction through to trial and has acted both as a claims handler and as defence solicitor.
Her practice also includes subrogated recovery actions arising from property damage, as well as claims involving the recovery of funds lost through commercial crime and fraud, as well as personal injury claims arising from employers liability and regulatory negligence.
In addition, Tyla has experience advising on complex insurance coverage issues, including matters relating to medical negligence, multi-policy coverage disputes arising from catastrophic incidents, and business interruption claims during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alongside her legal practice, Tyla is the firm’s Apprentice Supervisor, supporting the development of apprentices through mentoring, supervision and guidance. She is committed to nurturing emerging talent and helping apprentices develop the practical skills and confidence needed to build successful legal careers.
Tyla was promoted to Associate Solicitor in August 2023 in recognition of her technical expertise and contribution to the firm. She continues to advise clients on complex, high-value and technically challenging professional indemnity and insurance disputes.
