About me
I specialise in commercial, IP and IT law, with a sector-specific focus in healthcare, advising clients on contracting arrangements, joint ventures and collaborations, transactions, IP matters and public-sector projects.
Working with a range of private healthcare and NHS organisations (including pathology networks), charities, community interest companies and life sciences businesses, what really matters to me is building relationships with clients, by providing timely and accurate advice.
I’m people orientated and find collaboration one of the most rewarding parts of my role. I like to combine a personable approach with pragmatic and clear direction to help get our clients where they want to be.
Outside of work, I’m a cricket fan and have loved watching England play Test cricket overseas a number of times.
