Partner at Shoosmiths and Head of National Corporate Occupier Real Estate Team, advising household-name occupiers on all their portfolio needs including strategic acquisitions and disposals, complex leasing and portfolio optimisation strategy always with a view to delivering solutions that align with clients’ commercial objectives. Passionate about occupier law, I blend sharp commercial judgment with tech-enabled delivery to give clients clarity, pace and results. Known for a personable, collaborative style, I build strong relationships and lead multidisciplinary teams to deliver seamless, scalable solutions across the UK.

I lead strategic advisory and transactional services  combining deep legal expertise with a practical, client-focused approach.  I’m passionate about this area of law and thrive on helping businesses navigate the challenges of corporate real estate with clarity and confidence. I also welcome and chair sessions at our flagship Back to Basics occupier conference, where we convene industry leaders for insight and debate, 2026 marks our 5th anniversary.

I bring specialist knowledge in landlord and tenant law, lease structuring, and corporate occupier strategy—supported by a strong belief that technology can transform how legal services are delivered. From data-driven tools for portfolio analysis to digital platforms that support real-time collaboration, I embrace innovation to enhance client outcomes. My client base includes leading multinationals and dynamic growth businesses, all of whom value my ability to combine technical precision with practical solutions.
