About me

I’m a specialist financial litigator who represents corporate clients such as banks and asset finance lenders as well as high-net worth individuals.

I act on a broad range of matters, focusing primarily on contentious disputes, covering issues such as contractual disputes, personal guarantee and indemnity claims, invoice financing, enforcement techniques and investigations into financial inconsistencies. 

My job is to help my clients gain a sound understanding of the dispute they face, no matter how complex, then offer clear advice and support. In doing so, I empower them to navigate legal uncertainties, regain control of high-pressure situations and achieve the best possible outcome.

I take a strategic, commercially orientated and solution-driven approach, leveraging my in-depth legal knowledge and experience to maximise recovery, on time and within budget.

For me, the client always comes first and I am on hand to support whenever I’m needed. Building trust is important to me, and I pride myself on the good relationships I have cultivated with long-standing clients. I aim to become an essential extension of their teams, there to support them over many years.
