Associate advising on private equity and M&A deals
I am an Associate in Shoosmiths’ London corporate team, advising private equity houses, corporates and management teams on acquisitions, takeovers, disposals and investments. I also support portfolio companies with bolt-on acquisitions and general corporate governance.
Recent highlights include advising Hipgnosis Songs Fund on its $1.6bn all-cash private offer from Blackstone and Tenpin Entertainment, backed by Trive Capital, on its acquisition of Fairgame.
I joined Shoosmiths in 2023 as a trainee solicitor, gaining experience across pensions, corporate and litigation.
