I’m a Legal Director in Shoosmiths’ Corporate team, based in Glasgow. My practice spans M&A and investment transactions, as well as large-scale corporate reorganisations. I lead project teams on high-value transactions, including cross-border mandates, and work closely with clients to deliver outcomes that align with their strategic goals.

Before joining Shoosmiths as a Legal Director in 2022, I practised for many years as a senior corporate lawyer at an international firm and advised on multi-jurisdictional transactions, including a global private equity acquisition worth €6.85 billion. I lead multi-disciplinary legal teams in delivering M&A transactions and bring a commercial perspective and a calm, solutions-driven approach to every deal.

I have particular experience in Corporate Real Estate deals, supporting our active Real Estate client base with indirect investment and property portfolio M&A deals, particularly in the Living sector (later living and healthcare, BTR and PBSA).

I am a member of our Shadow Board, helping shape firm strategy and a member of Shoosmiths’ national M&A group. I also sit in our corporate simplification and restructuring group, helping clients streamline their corporate structure in line with tax driven reorganisations and pre-sale or post-integration restructurings.
