Delivering strategic solutions to complex commercial disputes and litigation risk

I am a commercial litigation partner at Shoosmiths, advising businesses, boards, GCs and in-house legal teams on complex commercial disputes.  As part of the Litigation, Regulatory and Compliance team, I help clients navigate contentious issues while remaining focussed on their wider commercial objectives, reputation and long term business priorities. I work closely with senior decision makers to develop dispute resolution strategies that support business goals and manage risk effectively.

With more than 20 years' experience, I advise on a broad range of high-value and business critical disputes, including contract and warranty claims, shareholder and governance disputes, professional negligence claims and complex contractual disputes. I have extensive experience in resolving matters through litigation, mediation and other forms of dispute resolution. I am also recognised for my expertise in litigation funding, advising businesses, claimants, those facing funded claims and law firms on funding arrangements and strategic options that support effective dispute resolution. My work spans sectors including technology, healthcare, retail, financial services, energy, manufacturing, food and beverage and sport.

Clients value my practical, commercially focussed approach and my ability to provide clear, strategic advice in challenging situations. I help organisations resolve disputes efficiently while protecting commercial relationships and maintaining focus on what matters most to their businesses. By combining strong commercial judgement with technical litigation expertise, I support clients in achieving outcomes that align with their legal, operational and reputational objectives.
