About me
I specialise in contentious shipping and sanctions, helping shipowners, charterers, cargo interests, traders and P&I Clubs to resolve disputes efficiently and stay compliant in a fast-moving regulatory landscape.
My approach is to work closely with clients to align strategy with business priorities to offer practical and commercially focused advice.
Clients value my strong sanctions knowledge combined with the calmness I bring during high-pressure disputes. I hope to be clear, reliable and easy to work with – helping you reach solutions that protect your interests and keep operations moving.
Away from work, I like to spend time volunteering with local food banks and homeless charities. I’m also definitely an adventurer at heart! Whether it’s booking onto a fitness class, heading off on a hike, cycling through the countryside, or planning my next trip, I’m always up for something active.
