About me

I specialise in commercial and regulatory law, advising healthcare clients across both the public and private sectors on a broad range of matters, such as contractual agreements, aspects of information governance, public law, regulatory practice and health and care commissioning.

Whether it’s with NHS bodies including ICBs and trusts or private healthcare providers, I focus on understanding each client’s priorities so that I can provide practical, commercially minded advice that supports their goals and builds trust over time.

I really enjoy building relationships and collaboration, and hope clients would say I’m approachable, reliable and easy to work with. I pride myself on being responsive, proactive and clear in my advice, and I am always genuinely invested in helping clients achieve the best outcome.

My mother’s experience of working in the NHS for over 40 years has given me a good understanding of her of the challenges on the ground, so it feels meaningful to advise on matters that have a real impact on healthcare, minimising risk and improving outcomes for clients and patients alike.

My experience

  • I worked on the Thirlwall Inquiry, as part of a wider team at Hill Dickinson who represented the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
  • I regularly work under instructions for NHS England in a variety of matters.
  • As a trainee, I have experience of Healthcare and Public Law, Health Litigation and Health Employment.
