Trusted adviser guiding high-growth companies through change

I’m a partner in the corporate team, advising on M&A and venture capital transactions for both investors and high-growth companies. My work spans sectors including AI, SaaS, media, logistics and facilities—often with a cross-border element—helping clients invest, scale and exit with confidence.

I joined Shoosmiths in 2006, bringing experience from a leading international firm. Recent matters include strategic acquisitions and funding rounds for global businesses and technology innovators. I’m recognised for my commercial acumen and calm, strategic counsel.

I founded our Emerging Companies & Venture Capital (ECVC) group and now focus on leading Shoosmiths’ international strategy, including heading our USA business desk and strengthening cross-border client relationships.
