About me
As a dispute resolution lawyer I support clients through challenging situations, resolving issues before they escalate and helping them navigate complex litigation and arbitration when necessary.
I’m experienced in UK and international disputes, investigations and crisis management. I’m regarded as a go to litigator for construction and engineering disputes and have a strong background in sport. Many of my matters include cross border issues.
I’m a specialist at rescuing disputes part way through proceedings, quick to get on top of the detail and known for leading a team of lawyers to success on cases for clients. I work for large multinational organisations, private equity, sporting bodies, listed companies and owner-managed businesses.
Direct and tenacious by nature, I draw on extensive experience to ensure clients understand just what it will take to accomplish their goals. I like to win, especially when it’s for a client. I never give up, pulling out all the stops to achieve an excellent outcome, every time.
Supporting and mentoring emerging legal talent is a key part of my professional purpose. I mentor a number of women within the firm and take part in the interviewing process for prospective trainees.
I’m a sports fan and I love to run. There isn’t a sport I won’t try and very few I won’t watch!
