"I place great importance on building lasting client relationships through collaboration and openness."
"I have extensive international experience, supporting insurers on claims across multiple jurisdictions, with a particular focus on the US. I am frequently instructed to resolve conflicts between layers of insurance and to act as monitoring counsel in litigation proceedings overseas.Prior to joining RPC, I worked at both Aon and Beazley, placing and underwriting financial institutions’ and professional indemnity risks in the Lloyd’s market.
