About

I am a London-based Associate in Lewis Silkin's Data, Privacy and Cybersecurity group, advising clients on complex data protection matters, rapid-response cyber incidents, and the regulatory challenges of deploying AI systems.

I enjoy bringing a distinctive perspective from various secondments at the Information Commissioner's Office, both in the enforcement and policy teams, as well as embedded roles in the Middle East (Dubai) and with clients in the retail and aviation sectors. This experience enables me to deliver practical, commercially-focused advice relevant to different businesses.

My recent experience includes advising global financial and technology companies on the deployment of AI systems and strategic data compliance implementation. I also enjoy regularly contributing to pro bono work and mentoring within the wider legal community.
