About me
I’m a partner in the Corporate Commercial team, specialising in investment funds, financial services regulation, crypto and digital assets.
I advise clients on every stage of the business life cycle, from formation and structuring through to compliance and growth. With a background as a Chief Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering Officer for FCA-regulated firms, I bring first-hand insight into regulatory challenges and how to navigate them effectively.
I work with entrepreneurs, fund managers, and investment businesses to turn bold ideas into viable, regulated operations. My experience spans hedge funds, retail funds, digital assets, and crypto ventures—including structuring the UK’s first publicly listed Bitcoin treasury management company.
Clients value my holistic, business-first approach and pragmatic solutions. A client once described working with me as ‘class and intellect’. I strive to bring this to every engagement.
I speak conversational Hebrew and support charities and social projects through pro bono legal work.
My experience
- I have worked with clients on a broad range of cryptocurrencies, digital assets and blockchain related issues, particularly regarding their regulation. Current clients include The Smarter Web Company plc.
- I have experience working with a wide range of strategies and structures. I work with investment funds and investment managers on every part of their business, including establishing managers and funds, fund/product formation, corporate and regulatory matters, and business life cycle events.
- A key aspect of my practice focuses on regulatory advice. I served as a chief compliance and anti-money laundering officer (CF10 & 11) for FCA regulated firms for seven years. As such, I have experience dealing with regulators and regulatory issues as both a practitioner and as an approved person.
