"I am always across every detail of a case, while not losing sight of the bigger picture and longer-term strategic objectives of my client. I'm skilled at organising and motivating a wider team, regularly leading complex and time-sensitive work at speed and under pressure.
Earning and maintaining trust is key. I'm proactive, providing regular advice and updates to my clients to ensure they are aware of progress and feel in control of their case. Whether the preference is concise emails or longer chats on the phone – I tailor my communications to whatever works best for my client.
I am warm and down-to-earth, and clients value my empathetic nature and ability to put myself in their shoes when addressing their problems."

Acting for a large crypto exchange defending tortious and contractual claims in relation to derivative products.
Acting for a Big 4 accountancy firm in defending a substantial audit negligence claim arising from the collapse of an international business.
