About me
As a partner in the corporate team, I specialise in corporate finance, M&A, and capital markets. This involves advising UK and international clients on IPOs, secondary fundraisings, private and public M&A, joint ventures and corporate restructurings.
I also support growth companies on equity investments and have advised across sectors including natural resources, technology, real estate, healthcare and financial services.
My clients range from startups to listed companies, and I aim to provide clear, commercially focused advice tailored to their strategic objectives. I’m recognised in The Legal 500 for M&A and capital markets work and am a member of the Legal Expert Group of the Quoted Companies Alliance.
Career highlights include acting on a US$516 million takeover of a Main Market-listed company and advising the shareholders of a financial services business on its sale to a major UK retail and commercial bank. Outside of work, my two young daughters keep me very busy, with any spare time spent trying to keep fit (either in the gym or by running a 5k).
