A typical day might see me advising a company on its proposed flotation on AIM; advising shareholders on their start-up arrangements; giving regulatory advice to a quoted company; and advising on an acquisition or disposal.

Chambers directory describes me as having "impressed clients with my economic and efficient handling of the most complex matters"

Acting for Livebookings Holdings Limited on 2 VC investments totalling £16m, for Claranet Internet Holdings on its sale of 5 overseas subsidiaries and subsequent bank re-financing; on the proposed AIM flotation of an offshore close-ended fund and on the acquisition of Hull City FC for an undisclosed sum.

I act for a wide range of companies, both public and private, including: Catalyst Media Group plc, Cagney PLC, Photo-me International PLC, AMI Entertainment Inc., Claranet Limited, Headstart Advisers Limited and Livebookings Holdings Limited
