I joined Lewis Silkin as a trainee in August 2018.

I am currently gaining experience in the firm’s top-tier Employment practice. I previously sat in the Dispute Resolution team, where I supported fee-earners with a wide variety of tasks, from assisting with High Court litigation to helping disputes reach settlement.

Before joining Lewis Silkin I worked as a journalist for a national newspaper for four years and also spent time as a researcher for a political television programme. I have a first class degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford and a Masters in Broadcast Journalism from City University. I studied the GDL and LPC at BPP University.

In my free time I enjoy reading, walking and running.

Court of Appeal finds no litigation privilege in internal emails discussing commercial settlement of dispute

09 January 2019

The Court of Appeal has allowed an appeal by West Ham football club in its application to inspect certain emails sent internally amongst board members of E20 Stadium LLP (“E20”) and between E20’s board members and stakeholders, in respect of which E20 asserted litigation privilege. The emails were created with the dominant purpose of discussing the commercial settlement of E20’s dispute with West Ham over the club’s rights to use the London Olympic Stadium when litigation was in contemplation. The Court held that litigation privilege does not extend to documents concerned with the settlement or avoidance of litigation where the documents neither: (a) seek advice or information for the purpose of conducting litigation; nor (b) reveal the nature of such advice or information.
