Tyla Westhead

CILEx Lawyer

“I am committed to providing a professional but approachable service to my clients and always try to make the claims process as straightforward as possible with the aim of securing the best achievable outcome for every client.”

About me

I joined the Dental Law Partnership as a Paralegal in 2015 and have since progressed to the position of CILEx Lawyer after qualifying in 2020.

I studied History, Politics and Psychology at A-Level before graduating from the University of Liverpool with a First Class Honours Degree in Law. I am a CILEx Lawyer having qualified in 2020 and having obtained Litigation Rights in 2026.

Having worked at DLP for a decade and having managed claims from their very beginning to their very end, I have gained significant and invaluable hands on experience and knowledge in dealing with the complexities of dental negligence cases. I am committed to advocating for my clients and I aim to secure outcomes that will improve the lives of my clients and allow them some closure and the ability to move forward. I have a particular interest in cases involving dental implants, nerve injuries, supervised neglect and periodontal disease and in a past periodontal claim, I successfully secured compensation for my client in excess of £100,000.

I have also mentored a number of my junior colleagues at DLP helping them to develop their knowledge and skill set to help facilitate successful career progression.

Outside of the office, you can usually find me around family and friends or somewhere outdoors! I enjoy horse riding and I’m passionate about animals and their causes; I am a regular volunteer for a toad patrol charity, which aims to protect frogs and toads during their yearly migrations.
