About

I have worked as an employment lawyer for nearly a decade but, in the past few years, I have specialised in global mobility matters where I lead our firm's work on these issues. I work closely with our tax, immigration, data, and corporate team, as well as with our international colleagues, to co-ordinate advice and help clients shape a strategic and commercial international mobility strategy ensuring compliance and that risks are managed.

I advise clients across a broad range of sectors, but in particular, those in fashion and fashion retail, technology, biotech, manufacturing, professional services (including legal and financial), advertising & marketing, and the oil, gas, and energy sector.
