"I think flexibly to adapt to the unique challenges that each matter presents, and deliver work tailored to be client-focused and client-friendly"

"I bring value to client matters through my enthusiasm and ability to grasp new concepts swiftly and efficiently. I think flexibly to adapt to the unique challenges that each matter presents, and deliver work tailored to be client-focused and client-friendly, helping me to foster strong client relationships.

Clients appreciate my strong communication skills, positive attitude, and experience of litigation and advisory matters. I take the time to understand their needs and commercial incentives, allowing me to provide effective and efficient solutions. The result is advice that is legal in nature, but always seated within the commercial context of the issue at hand.

I spent six months on secondment in Hong Kong advising on a range of commercial disputes, often with a multi-jurisdictional element, which increased my exposure to, and understanding of, cross-border litigation and arbitration."
