About

I have acted on a wide range of disputes for a diverse group of clients, ranging from banks and insolvency professionals, to marketing companies and professional sportspeople (and everything in between). I work collaboratively to support clients in navigating complex, high-value, often sensitive, disputes and am always focused on providing practical solutions.

I am passionate about social mobility and, as creator of a Legal 500 ESG Awards nominated social mobility scheme, am always looking for ways that we can improve access to our profession.
