About

I am a trainee solicitor, currently gaining experience in the Intellectual Property Disputes team, having previously completed a seat in the Corporate team. My work spans contentious and non-contentious matters, supporting clients across a range of sectors including technology, media, and creative industries. I assist on complex IP litigation, brand protection, and commercial transactions, working closely with partners and clients to deliver practical, business-focused solutions.

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.
