About me
I’m a partner in the Corporate team and represent high-growth companies that typically operate in the life sciences, biotech, fintech, media or resources industries.
My specialist focus is on capital raising and mergers and acquisitions; and in buying and selling companies along the way. Whether my clients are private or public, they know they can trust me to guide them, with options including Venture Capital or Private Equity funding for private companies and Initial Public Offerings or secondary fundraises for public companies. It’s about understanding the client’s aims and identifying the best solution.
Whatever stage a business is at in its life cycle, I work closely alongside my clients – usually business owners and entrepreneurs – to advise on all aspects of their business growth and funding. Many of my clients have stayed with me for years, often becoming friends along the way.
After more than 20 years as a corporate lawyer, there’s still no better reward than seeing small companies grow into big companies and knowing I played a small part in that success.
