Commercial law partner driving innovation in mobility and technology

I am a partner in Shoosmiths’ Commercial Group, focussing on manufacturing, technology, and mobility. I help clients structure and deliver complex commercial arrangements, from supply chain and technology contracts to joint ventures and e-commerce. My work includes supporting global manufacturers and advising on transformational projects in the “Future Mobility” space.

My background includes secondments in industry and appointments to specialist automotive sector boards. I have provided evidence to the House of Commons on autonomous vehicles and am recognised in Legal 500 and Chambers for my expertise in automotive and technology law.

I am a member of the SRA and committed to supporting clients as they navigate regulatory change and seize new opportunities. My approach is collaborative, pragmatic, and always focussed on delivering value.
