About

I'm a trainee solicitor in the firm's Digital Commerce & Creative team, advising on commercial, technology, media and advertising matters. I support brands, platforms, entertainment and retail clients on fast moving projects, from negotiating commercial agreements to navigating digital, marketing and advertising compliance.

My work includes technology and platform contracts, AI terms, advertising risk, and rights driven brand and talent campaigns. Combining a strong grounding in IP and corporate work with a practical, business focused approach to delivering deals that work in the real world.

Before embarking on my legal career, I studied Music Production at Leeds College of Music and spent several years in the music industry as a performing artist. I then completed the PGDL and LPC at BPP University London, graduating with distinction in both courses.

Prior to joining the firm, I worked as a Legal and Business Affairs Coordinator at a major record label, where I advised on a broad range of artist and catalogue matters.
