About me
As an experienced corporate lawyer, I act as a trusted advisor, helping clients execute significant transactions no matter how complex the factors at play. The kinds of clients I work with include public and private companies, investment banks, corporate advisers, entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals along with businesses in the mining, life sciences, real estate and leisure industries.
My practice spans both UK and international transactions. I’m a specialist in equity capital markets as well as mergers and acquisitions, including public takeovers, joint ventures, group reorganisations and fundraising.
Pragmatic, efficient and commercially minded, my approach is to provide the clarity and direction clients can depend on to drive success and actualise their broader business vision.
My ability to get to the heart of a complex legal issue, pick out relevant points, and unlock a breakthrough solution sets me apart and allows me to deliver what my clients need, when they need it.
I like to stay active, and I’ve been known to take part in sporting activities to raise funds for good causes. In the past, I’ve run in the London Marathon and the Manchester Half Marathon.
