About me
I’m a lawyer specialising in the health and life sciences sectors so my clients typically include healthtech, medtech and life sciences businesses, NHS organisations, private hospitals and clinics, and academic and research institutions.
I advise on a wide range of matters such as technology contracts, joint ventures and collaborations, outsourcing and transactions and intellectual property matters.
I also advise my health and life sciences sector clients on regulatory matters, including compliance with MHRA and CMA requirements.
Healthtech and medtech are transforming the landscape and possibilities for health and patient care and it’s a privilege to play a part in helping to introduce innovation in the health and life sciences sectors for the benefit of patients, staff and the public.
With more than 20 years of experience in the legal healthcare sector, the opportunity to help clients deliver vaccine and technology solutions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic will forever remain a highlight of my career.
