About me
I’m an expert in maritime and shipping law who represents shipowners and charterers along with container lines, insurers and managers.
I’m experienced in a range of maritime matters and related contractual issues, especially from a charterer’s perspective. I’ve also worked on several high-profile casualty cases.
Clients would say that I’m hardworking, responsive and solution oriented. My approach is to take the time to understand the clients’ needs and expectations, tailoring my advice to empower them to move forward with confidence. I’m a skilled problem-solver and I have a natural talent for devising creative ways to resolve complex legal issues, so nothing prevents the client from achieving their aims.
No two days are the same in my job, and I find that rewarding. Through my work, I get to meet new people, constantly learn and continually develop my understanding of how best to support clients.
