Senior Associate

London (City)

About me

I support clients on all matters involving the carriage of goods by sea, air, road and rail, including warehouse liability and insurance coverage issues.

I deal with a wide range of cargo and logistical disputes including those arising from charterparties, bills of lading and commercial trade agreements. Regularly recovering losses and defending potential liability claims, I also deal with cross jurisdictional disputes and proceedings in both international arbitration and the Admiralty and Commercial Courts.  

I mostly work with marine cargo insurers, both in the London market and globally. My client base also includes recovery agents, and third-party claims handlers.

I’m practical, efficient and knowledgeable, always acting in the best interests of my clients, so I can offer the robust support they need to tackle challenges and secure the best possible outcomes.  

I attend market events and speak on industry panels, as well as providing training on key topics for clients. I’m also the deputy corporate responsibility lead for our London City office.
